Are you thinking of installing or buying and then installing?
You can check any system requirements from whoever you buy it off or check Nvidia.
As far as you processor concerns I have a Nvidia 8600GT 1GB and my processor is AMD Athon 3800 and mine runs fine.
Most likely your motherboard will support it as long as it has a PCI-e slot and adequate power.
For what purpose are you buying that graphics card?
