I believe that Diablo's minimum specs for a Windows PC requires at least a Pentium D which came out late spring of 2005. If your PC is older than that, there is no hope. If it was cutting edge in 2006, you may have a chance if you have enough memory.

CPU is generally the least important major component in gaming. Video card, then RAM, then bus speeds (affecting CPU, HD, RAM), then clock speed is a fair order of importance for most games. That Athlon XP I tested was cutting edge in about 2002, if I remember correctly, and certainly does not meet the minimum specs given by Blizzard. But with a good enough video card and RAM, even my system technically below the minimum requirements is still capable of running the game.
