    you definately need to consider to upgrade your ram. Afaik you need at least 500 mb better 1gig. If you want to do so look at the hompage of your mainboard producer what kind of ram is recommended for your board.

    your graphik seems to be no problem if it handled RTW in good quality then it will handle EB in good quality, too (the battles at least). Do you know the name (nivida geforce blabal or ati radeon xyz)? Until recently i had a 128mb graka and had no problem with playing EB.

    motherboard won't leat me upgrade my CPU, and would that make a difference?
    Same as with the graka, the bottleneck in your system is the ram.

    The graphic card is i think a NVidia GeForce FX5500 (not the best there is- but my system is old).
    So the quick solution is more RAM.
    Next year i will buy a new PC, but until then i must buy me some RAM's (a full bucket of it)

    Thanks guys. As always the .org never lets me down.
    Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

    Yeah RAM's probably your best bet, although personally I wouldn't waste money flogging a dead horse though (well, not dead but perhaps going arthritic and blind ), just save your money and use the difference get a better rig when you get round to it.

    If you are going to buy ram....buy some good sticks. Hi speed ram designed for game use will make an enormous difference. You'd notice a greater effect by buying a gig of hi-speed sticks like Corsair than you will by buying 2-3 gigs of some bargain basement crap.
