Do you think that an 8600gt can run this game at high and ultra high settings?

well, I think the possibility of running the game in ultra high setting is more a matter of the processor. If you have a dual core processor in adition to that graphic card you can run the game in ultra high settings without problems

I have a decent video card (ATI 1600 Pro 512MB) but I am unsure on my processor. I have a AMD 64 3500, which is 2.2GHZ single core, will the game be playable even though it's under the requirements? If it's not any recommendations on new processor?

OtiS, it looks like you will be able to run the game on low to medium settings. You might be able to put a few things at high with the 512 mb of video ram. You won't be able to enjoy moving uniforms with that single core processor, though.
