wow if you lag with css then there arent many you can play lol. try all the half-life source games like team fortress classic and day of defeat, etc. you could also play the id software games like the dooms, quakes, and wolfensteins (not the new one)

You need a new motherboard to get any decent graphics card. May as well upgrade it all.

You can't play too much games without lagging like crap. Upgrade to 1GB Ram and a Sapphire X1650 Pro Graphics Card and you'll move on a bit.

Get a new graphic card. Cuz all ur games will lag like crazy :s

Build yourself a new computer, Pentium 4 isn't worth updating in this day and age.

I would suggest:

Athlon II X4 with appropriate motherboard (or AM3+ for Bulldozer)
4 or 8 gigs of DDR3 1600mhz
GTX 560 ti/ AMD Radeon 6950
Samsung F3 1TB HDD for games + SSD for windows/apps
Case of your choice.
Quality PSU from XFX/Antec/Corsair/Seasonic/Silverstone/OCZ

Buy a new comp, usually you want a new one after around 3-4 years or at least upgrade, I suggest an AMD based build if you a have tight budget
