Yep, what bloom said.. and in addition, I had some woe's even with the min. requirements, until I upgraded to 128 meg. of ram, though that is dependant on the system you have...
First, find a 16 meg. video card, you can probably find one on these boards for about $20 bucks used....then if you have the extra cash, invest in another 64 meg of ram, todays prices you should be paying only about $30 bucks for that.
