Well...Max Payne is not a good example...heck, I was able to run it ok on a P2-333 with 128 megs of ram and 16 meg video card and it looked decent at 1024x768with settings set on medium (mostly below the recommended req). I would say you need to upgrade. Yes, it is a hastle and yes it can be a little costly. I came to the point I realized though that if I want to play the new stuff coming out that I was going to have to make the sacrafice and upgrade. Did so and have not regretted it since. That is the path I would take.
