thats a nice decent computer. Maybe medium low settings would get you steady FPS. Try to upgrade to 1024MB Ram, and it will help HEAPS 😎

Hope this helps

yeah, I've got a gig of ram or soemthing like that. The other thing s that if you free up enough of your hard drive space your framerates will go up and you'll be able to hold some pretty nice frames. scenery drives me nuts when my frames are down in the teens sometimes. 😂
