Looks sweet as sugar on toast!
bottom line, Im impressed. But its too bad I dont have the processing power to play it :(. You can download the trial version at gamespot.com

minimum requirements:

Windows XP
1.4 Ghz Processor
256Mb ram
64 Mb Video card with HW T&L
370 Mb hard disk space
Directx 9c

I have all that stuff but the 1.4 Ghz, I have 733mhz, If I bought a new processor, lets say 2.2Ghz.... Would I need a new mother board, or any thing else to add or change to make it run? Or is it a plug and go thing.
I have an issue of constantly relating a car to a computer....lol

I'll put it this way,

removing loads of crap off your memory might make the computer "go faster", but it doesnt increase the Processing speed/ processor.

by loads of crap I mean programs that utilize the ram as soon as you turn the computer on that you probably have only used 3 times a months.

removing loads of crap in your car might make your car "go faster", but it doesnt increase the horsepower...

by loads of crap I mean things like back seats radiator , and whatever else some dummies do to make there 1.8L honda civic "go faster"

You see the picture? smart ass :p

heres another good expample...

And this is why I asked, and said I constantly relate Cars to computers...

If you replace the engine in a car, lets say a i-4 with a v-6, do you think that thats all you have to do? fuck no, your gonna need to put a new ecu in, or reprogram the old one...whatevers easier, make room in the engine, the engine probably also would require some other shit, forgive me car gurus if Im wrong, I never did an engine swap...

SOoooo... IF I got a new Processor, will I need some other stuff to be able to utilize it to its full potential?

You will likely need a new motherboard. Motherboards have a maximum processor speed that they are capable of handling. Check the version of your motherboard at the manufacturers website to see if it has bios updates that allow anything faster than what it reportedly can handle. You should be able to get the motherboard model from the bios page when it starts up.
