I have a Compaq Presario with a AMD Sempron Processor 3200+ that runs at a speed of 1.8GHz and i have 768MB of RAM with a ATI Radeon X200 series card with top memory of 256MB. My Star Wars Battlefront seems to be acting retarded.
req.///(mystats)
DirectX9.0///(9.0)
OS 98,ME,2k,XP///(XP)
Intel P3/AMD Athlon 1GHz///(1.8GHz)
Memory 256///(768)
64MB 3D card///(256 MB 3D)
8x Speed CD-ROM///(32x Speed)
2.7GB of free space///(120.6GB free space)
And the disk is in top shape! Soooooooooo, wtf? i tried it on low, works fast, turn it up to high and it somewhat is kinda irritating after awhile. So, why is it that a somewhat nice computer which can run Battlefield 2 on Medium settings, not play a older game on high? Please help!

Your video card is the problem. It is an integrated video card, therefore it uses your processor to think, and steals your system RAM to do it's work. As a result gaming can slow down your entire PC.
The only way to permanently fix the problem is to buy a new video card. Adding RAM will only help a little since your Sempron processor isn't strong enough to handle the drain that the integrated video puts on it.

Aint sure what the game requirements are but many things can cause problems. It could be sound or video problems, it could be that you are running too many other apps in the background! Your system has ? megs of ram but you need to consider that some of your system operations are also using this. I never buy software unless I have the recommended system requirements! Not just the minimum. You might also try reducing sound and video acceleration in directx. Turn down some of your games graphic options. Buy more ram. Make sure your audio and video drivers are up to date and last but not least, check the game manufacturer for patches.

Well your problem is slow Graphic card and RAM.. upgrade your Graphic card to any of NVIDIA 7600GS, NVIDIA 7900GS or NVIDIA 7900GT and RAM upto 1 GB then you will see a big difference while gaming.. this is to take care if you are a serious gamer, your computer should be updated to run the latest games.
