this game came with my new mobo and im wondering if it will run with an intel core2 duo 2.4ghz processor or does it have to be a P4?

Minimum:
Processor: Intel or AMD, 2 GHz
Operating System: Windows XP/Vista
Memory: 1024 MB RAM
Disk Space: 5 GB
Graphics Card: 128 MB DX9.0c compatible card,
GeForce 6200 or higher
Radeon 9700 or higher
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
DVD-ROM drive : x2 read speed
DirectX Version: 9.0c
Network: High-speed modem with 128 Kbits of data transfer upload rate for a client, 512Kbits of data transfer upload rate for a server on a full game.

There should be no problem if your processor has the speed . Thats how I got started .
