hey, im not a computer nerd but I was thinking, could it be due to your ram?  

You didnt post how much RAM your comp has and I know for me the game can barely run cus i only have 108mb or so RAM.  I am also using windows XP which is horrible since most of the RAM I do have is being used to substain it.

There is one factor... PS requre at least 256MB RAM. If u wanna  buy a new grap. card, buy a GeForce FX 256MB RAM and your set for the future :)

You should be able to get 256mb ram for $100, or 512mb ram for $180......unless they cost a lot wherever you live.

no disrespect, but is that your opinion, or are you doing the \"fanboy\" thing?

Donkey, that geforce fx5200 was a good choice....ESPECIALLY for the money :P  it runs all modern games at 1024*768 w/ no problems.....America\'s Army 2.0, Enenmy Territory, etc.  but you still need to upgrade your ram, because w/o enough ram, the card won\'t do you much good.  you should be able to find a 512mb stick of pc-2700 ram for about $100
