Easy. Get a new video card.

Agree. If you, already, have 2G RAM, get a good VGA card (for 300$, you can get a good one). I started topic about video card, and guys are really, really, helping

So you mean X1900 instead of X700 would be more effective than 2GB to 4GB?

The XTX is slightly faster than the XT.

As I understood, you need a GOOD VGA card to play MIITW. Without that, it will affect negatively your computer perfomance (read, slow your battles down). Again, I'm not a tech guy, but it seems, upgrading video card is better idea.
