It will run. I'd put a bit more ram in, especially if the video card is 
lacking. I assume it has svideo out? or are you feeding with vga out?

Yeah i'm going to be bumping it to 512mb which is the laptop max, I will be
running vga out coupling to dvi on the tv.
With a y audio cable from the sound card.
