    get a new card, doesnt have to be fancy or expensive. A small upgrade can improve your FPS 15-25%

    your CPU sucks, celeron Ds are an abomination. a 2.4GHZ celeron D will perform like a 1.8GHz P4 give or take. I really do suggest you up your processor you can find a older P4 for not a ton. as for ram, the more the better, netburst is really bandwidth sensitive as well so you want all of your ram to be as fast as possible. your GFX card blows too, hardcore. if you want to game well, I'd up it to something like a 9800 x800gto or a nvidea 6600 or 6800.
