Before jumping the gun on a CPU, what video card do you have? Also, 256MB RAM is pathetic for gaming...you should have 512MB minimum, preferrably 1GB.

CPU is fine, your ram is just so low. just use the money to get more ram 1st, and your video card. i can smell you have a crappy video card.

3.2GHZ Intel Pentium EE 840
1GB Dual-channel DDR2-533 RAM
Asus P5ND2-SLI Deluxe mobo
