  I dun think TS needs the C2D motherboard with X3000 integrated GMA, maybe something along the line of Pentium 4 or Pentium D is good enough together with a dedicated PCI express graphics card like 7300GT

  GMA x3000 is a Video chip which is soldered to the motherboard.

  Current Game Functionality
  All information was taken from test bed (A)*
  
  = Functional at high settings
  = Functional at low settings
  = Non-functional at low settings
  
  

  the price between no GMA x3000board and with GMA x3000 board price difference is only $15+/-. so imagine just a $15 chip can play most of game with best settings.
