i have a core 2 duo computer with 512mb dvd burner and the onboard video card which is 96mb. When i play guild wars nightfall it lags alot. On my pentium 4 2.6ghz with 512 ram and a geforce fx 5200 128mb video it runs better than my core 2 duo.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

The problem ist your onboard video card.
It's to slow for Guild Wars.

Buy a proper graphics card for your new PC... You have a great gaming rig and no graphics... I can't understand why people buy these systems with no actually graphics card

Get 2gig and an 8800 , seriously though if you want it as a proper gaming rig you will need 2gig of memory installed, and eventually a DX10 capable graphics card
