Whats needed for AoE3 to run smoothly?

[Richeh]

Been playing AoE2 a bit recently after years of not playing it and loving it again. Only problem is the online community is a bit non-existant so thinking of getting AoE3.

My current spec is AMD64 3200+, 9800Pro and 1GB DDR now i'm fairly sure if a big battle ensues this won't run it smoothly?

If not, what kind of spec do I need to have no/minimum slowdown.

Cheers.

It's not really worth buying an extra gig for this system as it would be the old type and I wouldn't be able to carry it over to upgrade.
