Should work just fine.

Way more than enough! You could easily play on multiplayer with the apporiate internet connection. You could probaly play Warcraft III on it too. :)
Just make sure to defragment the hard drive, and run virus/spyware scans. Those could affect performance.

GAHHH! Worst onboard graphics card ever! It'll run D2 just fine though. Just don't expect to do any 3D gaming with it.
