    if using xp than sysinfo should tell you your system specs & game should have info on it for system requirements. dxdiag will tell you the version you are using

    which version of 9 as there is 9.0, 9.0a, 9.0b & 9.0c?? i think in program list or in control panel you'll find sysinfo so use that to see what your specs of your computer is.
