yeah dude, the only thing thats killing you right now would be your lack of faster ram and lack of better CPU....other than that your graphics card can handle the games, but you REALLY need more ram, and not just more ram, more of faster ram cause PC2100 will just barely cut it.....all in all you need to try and get a new mobo, processor, and some ram and you'll be good to go. You can probably get a mobo and processor combo if you look somewhere, but hell, you could spend $50 and get the same kind of motherboard I got right now...and spend another like $80 on an OEM 2500+ XP chip and for $130 you've boosted your performance pretty dern good. Plus the 2500+ will be overclockable in the future....or you could spend $90 on the 35w 2400+ XP-M which has the same cache and same FSB as the 2500+ XP and is A LOT easier to overclock.....with the 35w its default is 11x166 = 1.8GHz (which is the same as the 2500+ XP actually) but the multi on the 2500+ will be locked...on the mobile xp it won't be! so You can change it to 9x200 = 1.8GHz and that way you can put in PC3200 ram, but the way you have it set up, you're achieving the same speed, 1.8GHz, but your FSB will be (2x200)400 instead of (2x166)333
