I'll be blunt: most probably, no. You need a 4x (quad core) CPU, a PCI-express video card (not an integrated one; go for a mid-ranged card like ATI HD 5770 or GeForce 260 or of course higher) and DDR3 RAM, not DDR2. That'll drag more power requirements with it (a 600W PSU will be in order, at least - and none of that cheap stuff, some good thing with 25A on the 12V lane(s) and 80+ rated for stability). only then you can expect to get seamlessly smooth gameplay. P.S. how do you remember your username ?
