Will this run Supreme Commander

[:1]Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 2 N850 triple-core processor 2.20 gHz
MEMORY(Ram): 4GB w/ 3.74 usable DISK: 574 GB free
Operating system: Windows 7 homes premium, 64 bit, english
Video CARD:AMD M880 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Also to mention the disc player is blu-ray, don't know if it makes a difference.|||Yes it will. Don't expect the best performance or be able to run at the highest settings, but SupCom will work.|||Yes, it will only thign holding you back is the Graphics. You have a good processor for Sup Com there.|||The graphics card won't cut it, even at low settings once the unit count gets high in mid to late game it's going to become very stuttery.
The processor is barely adequate.

The thing is Supreme Commander is a very scalable game. If you limit yourself to 1v1 on 10Km maps with low settings and a 500 unit cap limit and resolution of 1280x1024 you'll be fine. However if you try playing with 2 or 3 AI's, or 6-8 human players, with medium settings, 1000 unit cap on a 20 or 40, or even 80Km map (i.e. 64 times the size of a 10km map, with upto 8 times the number of units in game and higher graphics settings) the game will simple drop to a completely unplayable crawl and fps in the single digits.
You main issue is the graphics card. You need something akin to an Nvidia 8800GT minimum, or ATI 4770 or above.
Processor is also barely adequate for anything above 10km x 10km maps with 4 players. You really need quad core and a processor speed of 3Ghz or above.
Your RAM however, is fine :D
