It says in my Computer properties Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz 3.12GHz

Thats wierd... In my Boot up screen it says I also have 2 cores lol.

What if I do an overclock on it, I can safetly clock it to 3.6. Maybe I could run it then?

I see no difference even I overclock to 3.6GHz .Buy a new CPU (core 2 duo above 2.4GHz,i5)or a beast laptop with core i5 750USD.
Download CPUZ to check your PC spec.I'm pretty sure Pentium 4 only 1 core
Edit: Post a screenshot of CPU Z then I can help you

1 Core 2 thead just like I expected.For more speed
Look at setting here as default

Use windows 7 64bit

Download svn 5186 SSE3 here,the lastest revision will slowdown alot
