That Graphic solution is pretty bad, also with onboard graphic its hard to to overclock. Probably wont help you much.

At 3.2 GHz, I'd say your cpu is ok.  What you need to look at is video card, as stated, but also your RAM.  512 is low for this game.  I would go with at least 1G, 2 is better.

thanks:aok

ii was thinking of going to 2 gigs of ram..and maybe at least a 512mb graphics card(shud be a good improvement over the card i have now)

i think my celeron processor may already be over clocked a lil bit..i dunno:confused:

Sure.  

I'll assume you have PCI-e on the motherboard judging by the onboard video yer using.

This is $99 after a $20 Mail In Rebate

Only problem is, when you "upgrade the video and RAM", the Celeron becomes your new "bottleneck".
