    Will these specs be good enough to download C&D? I'm in the process of purchasing a new PC with better specs, but I have some time to play today so I want to purchase the EP but I don't want to buy it and not be able to play it.

      You have enough RAM for the game which is fine, but your CPU seems to be very weak and has a low clock speed. I doubt it has a dedicated GPU either and even if it did the CPU is still very weak. I would probably hold off on buying the EP until you have that new PC in your hands.

      If anyone else wants to do a bit more research on this CPU and inform me if I misjudged or not, but the fact that it's an APU and not even at least a top end APU seems like bad to start with.

      If you would be getting that new PC in a week or so or very very shortly you could try it, if it doesn't work then you could just wait a week for your new PC, if your current game runs fine for you as is. Do you have a graphics card or is it just the one on the APU?

      Just the one on the APU. And this expansion was the tipping point for me to get a new PC, but I want to play it so badly haha. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

      Good idea, the integrated graphics may give you errors on the pets on CAS or in world so the best thing you can do is wait, it will pay off in the end ;)
