It's not your processor that is the problem its the lack of ram and graphics card. You need at least 512mb of ram, but I would adivse you getting 1 gig of ram. Your graphics card is too outdated to as well. If you have an AGP slot get at least a Nvidia 6800 series or higher. If you only have a pci slotget a Radeon PCI (not PCI-E) X1300. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7900GT SATA II 2x 200gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

You need to overclock your wallet and get some better hardware if you expect it to run well.

i agress with all the replys your cpu is ok its your lack of ram and your vga card is poor "but so is mine" lol :) so upgrade and i agress with 1gb and 6600gt on agp or either 5200 256mb pci or the Radeon X1300 pci good luck Damian Pentium 4 3.2ghz @ 3.5ghz Nvdia4 Mx4000 OC@ 350/500
