I know that I should buy a graphics card, and I will soon. But right now I am stuck with Intel Extreme Graphics 2. Are there any settings that I can change to make it run better? Looking at my specs is there anything else that I should do to make it run better (without buying anything!!!)
 
In the driver settings, change the mode to performance. It will cut the quality in order to play games at faster FPS and higher details.
 
Add RAM.

Integrated graphics eat up RAM. Windows XP eats up RAM. Games have to have RAM, but Windows doesn't give any up for anything.

Add another 256MB and you should be able to see a difference.
 
I have .5 gig of RAM sitting on my bed in its package. The only problem is that its the wrong type. When I went to Circuit City, the guy lied to me and told me that it was 184 Pin RAM I was buying. I didn't see the number of pins listed on the box, so I bought it. It turned out to be 240 when I got it home. I'm going to bring it back this week and buy a gig of refurbrished memory from newegg.com for the $80 that I spent on this.
