Nvidia what? 8600 at least? That matters.

What processor do you have? That matters more for performance sake, so it shouldn't just not let you run the game, but the video card may, if it's not compatible.
That happened to me when I first got Battlefield 2... had a nice laptop but it didn't have the right video card. Couldn't run it.

The game's minimum specs say Nvidia 8600GT or better.
I'm pretty sure the 6150 is not in the 'better' category.

Anyway, if you want to check for yourself, go here:
Can You Run It?

In the second drop-down, search for the game (Black Ops is in there, I checked) and click the button. When something pops up asking to install a component, choose yes. (this is a small program that will make your system specs available to the website for comparison.)

Copy+Paste the results here.

Well you wouldn't be able to play Black Ops on an iPad either, don't worry

. My PC's are 'old' dual cores too, I'm not into upgrading every year or so. I haven't had a game I couldn't play so far, but I should add that my video cards are Geforces 8600 and up. So yeah. It's worth upgrading your videocard, but then your power supply won't manage and then you'll have to upgrade that too. Whichever way you put it, I'll cost you at least $100 to play black ops

Well that just means your computer won't play Black Ops. Doesn't mean your computer is dying or crap. Games like that take a lot to run them.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of my eVGA 8800GTS 512 (overclocked, which is really easy to do).
