Better vid. card, more ram, and better psu. That'll do it for you.

The caps lock button is right above shift. Just in case u are wondering.

And now to the computer, as jac006 said a good vid card and more ram (i'd suggest getting 2x512 dual channel ddr400) and a new psu (maybe 400W?) How much are u willing to spend on the vid card?

300

well my 6600gt plays (when i only had a single) doom 3 at high settings with 512mb pc-2700 ram and a amd 3000+ played it at 1024x768 with very little lag, just a sudden jerk sometimes before a battle but thats about it
