I think that more RAM is the answer to your problems. It's dirt cheap these days so updating to 512MB or even Gig shouldn't set you back very much.

Get more ram - 256 or even 512. But your biggest problem is your prehistoric video card. If you've got an agp slot rather than pci, go for a ti4200 128mb or better. You won't know yourself. Failing that, you might update your driver by getting the latest detonator from www.guru3d.com
