slightly ?!!! ... a GF 6100 is NOT meant for any serious PC gaming : its a low-budget card meant for ordinary business apps & middle of the road games (Sins is not that!)

512 MB of RAM is the minimum if u have Win XP...with your Vista, the minimum would be 1024 MB of RAM (your 896 MB w/ Vista is really not enough to play recent 3D games) ...
« minimum » is just that : a bare-bones minimum ...

it would not cost u a lot to change your videocard to a series 8000 GeForce (they have budget cards in that series) AND add (at least) 512 MB more of RAM.

then, u could run this game at a decent level of visual beauty & framerate AND run some other recent 3D games (as long as u dont max the settings to the highest level)

I can play Sins on a laptop with a 64 MB onboard Intel card. So yes, yes you can.
