Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

There is a demo for DMC4 you should run it, what you consider playable may not be what i consider playable. but honestly, your rig will probably have a hard time running it, at least with the game looking halfway decent. You really should buy a new computer if you want to play some of the most recent games. Even if you tried to upgrade to the best components for your setup it would cost so much that you would have paid for a new computer.

I highly doubt you could run it. I think its time you got a whole new pc all together.

When thinking of DMC4 you need to be thinking could this PC keep up with a 360 / ps3 standard.

I would say that its slightly too old, although the low graphic settings may be ok. Upgrading is very cheap now (for a whole system). Its not worth indivudally upgrading because that board is too old. Find yourself a cheap 775 board, whack in a low spec c2d and 8800gt and some cheap ram....got a nice system for most games.

The PS3 and 360 versions of the game will be a lot more optimized so comparing specs won't really work. As you said, a Core 2 Duo with an 8800GT and at least of 2GB of RAM would probably be great for these titles.
