    Default What is the weakest link in the chain of my computer?

    Firstly, these are the specs of my computer:
    - Windows 7
    - 2 gb ram
    - Dual core 2.6
    - Radeon Xpress1100

    When playing I experience a lot of lag, is the problem my video card?

    I have considered buying a new video card, but am not sure that is the problem. The one I was considering is the ASUS ENGT240.

    Video card, then ram.

    On video card, be sure you buy the one for the slot in your computer.

    Thank you, I already figured it out, and this one fits my computer. I don't need to play on the hugest settings, normal unit size and normal graphic settings will do. Will this be possible with just my 2 gigs of ram?

    2 gigs for XP. Vista and 7, you can sneak by on 2gb but use something like Game Booster to disable the background programs while you're playing.
