Man, and I thought I had a POS system with an Athlon XP processor and 1GB RAM. (640 MB is an odd number. Sure that's not 64?)

It'll be 640, if he has 2x256 and 2x64 (512+128 = 640). Those combinations of ram upgrades were pretty common in the era of the P3 because mixing ram types wasn't considered as bad as it is now with our dual-(and triple-)channel-ness.

This is your problem. The Radeon 7000 may not be able to do OpenGL, but this game uses OpenGL to play. You may be able to download the updated version for your computer.

If not, a new (okay not really NEW but New in Box) AGP video card that can do OpenGL hardware processing can be had on Newegg for under $40 (GeForce 6200). For around $55-$60 you can have a much newer model AGP video card which would actually be pretty good for games (Radeon 3450-3650 respectively in price).

Good luck with it. The rest of your computer should be sufficiently able to play the game.

You won't be saying that in a week or two when you realize how many abandoned homes there are. A 30 second boat ride south of my village literally bring you to the ghetto. There's abandoned claims everywhere with the occasional newb taking things and raiders patrolling. It reminds me of Detroit.

Thanks alot for you help, but sadly I am not allowed to buy another video card (you know...high school duty...), but I have spotted something else while I was testing, I managed to get in game, but the processor usage went from 10 % to 95 % - 100 %, it's weird, any other clue how I can fix this?

This is normal, if you have a single-core processor. HnH has a very heavy CPU usage for some reason.
