    So onboard graphics are no good for gaming man. lol Get you a video card and you will be able to run a lot more.

    What you should do is Upgrade to 64 bit windows. as that will allow you to use all of your ram, as 32 bit needs a bit of your ram(dedicated ram)

    And then most definantly upgrade your graphics card

    an SSD will be like NOS wont do anything for games but will make your computer a hell of a lot faster booting and generally running
