1. Graphics card is most likely ATI Radeon x600. This card was released 4 years ago, which means you may experience low FPS.

2. RAM for this motherboard is of type DDR2 SDRAM. 1 GB is far below the norm. For gaming, consider the "Recommended" settings as the minimum. I personally consider 4 GB the minimum standard for 2009.

3. SP3 may increase your performance by a small amount. I personally recommend using XP SP3 until 7 is officially released. I run 7 currently, and have slightly better performance than XP SP3.

4. You did not specify what game. If you wanted to play Crysis on highest settings, I would suggest you buy a new computer. Whereas this is posted on a Fiesta forum, the ambiguity remains.

@Ivra: Unless he's running dial-up, internet is not an issue. Basic DSL (768 kbps) is slow, but will not cause noticeable lag.
