No, you'll need to upgrade.

Your video card seems to be the black hole. On my PC I have a basic 1gb card (Nvidia GeForce 9400GT) and I still experience lags. I don't run 2012 (yet), but the rest of your specs would seem to be adequate.

Nope. I also have a Pentium D 2.8ghz, with Nvidia 8500GT. Much better card but it's a jerky slideshow even with all the settings at minimum so I would advise upgrading both CPU and video. And of course if you update the CPU you'll probably need a new motherboard as well, unless you can find a faster Pentium D that will work in the existing socket. When I have the money to build my own I generally buy motherboard - CPU combination deals so I don't have to think about compatibility, but we have a probable problem - Dell. From what I've heard the motherboard mounting they use is not industry standard, so we're probably looking at a new tower case for the new motherboard and CPU.

The cpu is below minimum specs unless it's a dual core and with minimum specs you couldn't watch milk curdle without lag.

Thanks

thanks for the quick replies, I hope to get a new video card for Christmas, and eventually up the processor to at least a 3.4ghz. (fingers Crossed)

You'll need a dual core/core duo cpu of about 3ghz to stand a chance. I binned my 3.4g cpu years ago, it couldn't cope.

the most needy upgrade that you should go for is graphics card

Will the following work with TRS10 or TRS12

Dell VOstro 200
Win 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit
Service Pack 1

CPU Intel Prentium Dual CPU E2160
1.80 GHz 2 cores 2 threads

4.00 GB Ram

250 GB HD and lots of space left

Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 5200 256 MB

If the video card isn't fast enough would a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 or 9500 at 256 or 512 work?

Thanks

The CPU is underpowered. Same for the graphics card. A 9500 would be a good start if your power supply can handle it, but it'll still stutter a lot.
