I don't know what games you play, but certainly, your hardware isn't good to
play games at all.
Duron 650 is quite slow for morden games, and your ATi card is very slow as
well, at lease not for 3D games (sorry to say that, but it's not a 3D card
now days). eg. If I play Dungeon Siege, at 1024x768@32bit color, with all 3D
and effects turned on, I will experience badly lags, so I will have to
disable some (half) graphics effects in order to get playable frame rate,
even so, at 1024x768x32, I still get lags a lot especially if in battle.
keep in mind that I have 1G duron + G3Ti500+768M RAM.
I think with your hardware, you may only play at 640x480 in most of cases.
These days, standard resolution (gaming) is 1024x768, so if you really want
to play games, you need a new computer of at least a upgrade on both CPU and
video card.
