They're complete enough. I can get the exact specs off the last two bits of info. :)

Your computer barely meets minimum requirements to play the base game through Uni. It does not meet even minimum requirements to play any later expansion, so adding a lot of custom content is a really bad idea. The reason if you don't have a real graphics card.

What usually happens with computers which are not strong enough to handle the games is that things will work, all be it not perfectly, for a time. After a while things start to wear down and work less and less well. Overstressing your computer doing things it wasn't designed to do, like playing TS2, is likely to shorten is life.
