Chipset Intel HM55 Express,
RAM 4096Mb (2*2048Mb) DDr3
Hard Disk 500Gb
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1Gb DDR3
Display 17.3" HD + LED-backlit TFT LCD 1600x900
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

can anyone help me?

thank you
regards

Yes, AC15 will run smoothly. For better experience add another 4GB of RAM.

I'd recommend changing the GPU to an Nvidia card if possible - they have a better compatability track record with ArchiCAD.
A GeForce mid-range card would do nicely.
