Tell us what your video card is. You can check this by going to Start Menu -> type 'dxdiag' into the box. It's under the display tab, next to name.
If you need to know what OpenGL version you specifically have, you can download a program called DoctorGL, but be advised that some cards (mainly Intel ones) have drivers that don't really utilize the true OpenGL of the card.

I think that's your processor. If that is a video card, I don't think it'll play Amnesia. Could you provide a screenshot of the dxdiag?

its my processor i just crossed referenced the requirements on the box with the stuff on the diag and its only a 1.6-1.7 so i just need to find a way to get a better processer but idk how the hell im going to do that

Upgrading processors is pretty tricky on computers. You'll likely need to get a new motherboard as well, since processors have a specific type of socket they fit into. If I remember correctly, Intel Atom is a mobile processor. If this is a laptop or notebook, you'll need a new PC in general to upgrade it. Upgrading laptops/notebooks is next to impossible unless you're an expert.
Best to stick to desktops for gaming, though.
