Hi Sgt Pepper

You're system barely meets the system requirements, in such a case the game "technicly" is playable but with the occasional lag as you mentioned. The only way to solve you're problem is by upgrading your system. Another thing that might solve your problem (but I guess you've already done this) is to put the display resolution way down (I'm guessing that would be 640x480) and be sure to set all the graphical settings to low/off.

Just to clear this out, I would have to update my video card and increase RAM in order to the game work well?

Thanks very much.

Id say its time to update the whole pc. Your not going to be playing too many games these days with them specs.

If you want to play games that are quite recent then it would be a good idea to get a new computer. u can ofcourse upgrade (almost) every thing in your computer, but buying an entire new computer would seem wiser.

You'll be constantly upgrading if you start upgrading that old rig. The whole thing is out of date

Time to bite the bullet and get a new P.C. (Not from PCWorld)
