Computer Gurus! Need your assistance!

Okie,
I am a guru. But not a comp guru. So need your kind help! Thanks!
My computer is Pentium 4 running on Windows Millenium. Recently bought Rome: Total War and Winning Eleven and when I play the game, the characters and movements were like..........DARN LAGGY AND SLOW.
In the end, I found that my GEFORCE graphics 64mb sucks and upgraded to GEFORCE 128MB FX series which improves the gameplay.
However, my gameplay still slightly laggy. Is it possible that it may be due to my memory ram? Cos my memory only 256mb.
For Intel Pentium 4, which brand of memory chip to upgrade..? Intend to add another 256mb? -
the only problem is....install windowXP pro. if your system still lag, scold me thur PM ,1000XOriginally posted by Guru78:Okie,

Your OS does not allocate sufficient virtual memory to commiting to such high resource crunching games, regardless of your processing power.

Change OS? Is that the only reason why? Not bcos of my memory ram of 256mb? Can don't change OS? Cos gotta go and buy the Windows XP Pro and then install. I'm nuts about computer and fear that by upgrading my OS, it will result in me losing some prorams etc.Originally posted by ditzy:Your OS does not allocate sufficient virtual memory to commiting to such high resource crunching games, regardless of your processing power. -

ask ur friend for windowXP installation disc. dont worry about the setup, very easy and all you need to do is step by step press [next]..etc.Originally posted by Guru78:Thanks pal. You got any lobang where they actually install the XP for me rather than I go and purchase one which is rather hefty?
you can try [upgrade] window but recommend reinstall to windowXP. -

Mebbe if u post ur detailed specs, then pple can advise better... Pentium 4 veri vague...
GeForce FX series oso veri vague, so many models out there... if u got the FX5200 64 bit version, then u shouldn't be expecting too much out of it...
I think ur best bet now would be to add more RAM...
& the brand need not be the same, juz make sure it's the same type.
Btw, I think u can get more pro advice from the hardwarezone forums.... -

u can get an upgrade windows XP home (affordable) and upgrade over your ME and cheaper than the original installation disc package. if u do so, better get at least 512MB of ram. for me i am using window XP home (not upgrade package) and after changing to 1Gig ram, i can feel and see the difference when i control+alt+del and check my task manage for the system processes usage...on CPU physical memory and process status (not choppy now!). quality of graphics can also be improved with a better or neweer graphics card. i am not sure about win ME but XP requires at least 512 MB ram to work properly when u run your programs.Originally posted by Guru78:Okie,
