Your video card is relatively good compared to the rest of your system, but you may suffer lag at anything higher than the basic resolution of the game, usually 800x600 or 1024x768. I would recommend a CPU upgrade to at least an Athlon II X2 dual-core, 2+ GB of DDR3-1333 memory, and of course, a motherboard compatible with both. Your CPU will likely hold up if you don't upgrade, but 2GB of DDR2-333 is extremely slow. That will likely be your bottleneck. For upgrades, try Newegg.com! Their prices are pretty cheap, and 2GB of new memory, a new motherboard, and an Athlon II dual-core should run you less than $125.
Replace old computers instead of upgrading

What is better 2.1 ghz 1mb cache or 2 ghz 2mb cache?
This is a great question, and the answer is undeniably 2 ghz w/ 2MB cache. Take this analogy: You need to move 100 tons of dirt. You have A) A pickup truck and B) a Honda Civic. The Honda Civic is faster, but the pickup truck can move move at a given interval. The "Dirt" is the data trying to process on the CPU; the vehicle is the cache type. The CPU uses the cache to temporarily store information and quickly access it while it's working. It runs extremely fast (multiple gigahertz / second) and is extremely close to the CPU (literally on the same die). If you do not have room on your cache level, the CPU is forced to use the much slower RAM to store its information.

Why do networking specialists say Switch where you can route where you must?
Yes, the main reason is switch is an inteligent device for routing IP Packet. It substitute conventional hub which is not smart because it broadcast IP packet to all its port. This impact to network performance because IP packet flooding network. While switch have internal routing table that can help switch to forwarding to a exact port where the destination host is connected to its switch port.
What is Dell computers code of conduct?
In my experience, "Sell Computer. Wait for email 3 months later from customer complaining computer no longer turns on. Ignore email. Wait for more tech savy (that's me) friend (that's me) to email in with legal threats. Email back with a very unhelpful email, not answering a single one of the questions asked.". The saga continues, 9 months after first purchase... Don't buy Dell. Ever.
How long should a car starter last?
This general question is a good one, but even with more specifics, only a general answer can be provided. A starter will last "several years" under normal use. That's about it. Note that a number of auto parts outfits warranty a starter for a long, long time if you pay a bit "extra" for it. They expect replacement starters to last pretty much for the life of the car - while you have it. The warranty isn't transferable. They're betting you'll get rid of the vehicle before their starter fails. And they've done their homework. They make money by "guessing" correctly. Starters are generally pretty tough. Ten years isn't a long time for a starter to last under normal use. A properly maintained engine in a "normally" operated car won't place an inordinate burden on the starter, so you should get some good "mileage" out of one.

Usually if I'm not sure about the reviews for a site, I'll also check out the Better Business Bureau's (BBB) site. You can type in a url or business name and it will search to see if there are records for that company. It may or may not be BBB accredited, if it is NOT, that does not mean it is a fraudulent company, but it's better if a business is accredited. You can see on there if any complaints have been filed against the business. Even good businesses have some complaints here and there, but it's important to see how many there are and how they were resolved. If a company has a lot of complaints within the last year or they did not resolve many complaints I would stay away. Also you can check out Resellerratings.com for info on vendors.
