Need You Guys Help

Hello fellow clan mates,
I need your help.
OK, I just restored my old computer that I had for years, but now I think it's complete trash now. D:

I tried playing Combat Arms on it, and it took about 5 minutes to login, 15 minutes to get into a game, and when I get into the game, it crashes.

It's an old Windows XP, so I kind of expected this to happen... a bit.

-System
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+
1.80GHz, 496 MB of RAM
38.3 GB Hard Drive

LOL, even this laptop I'm using is better.

So, my question to you guys, how do I eliminate lag and prevent it from crashing, lower ping?
I checked out some tutorials, but they don't seem to help.

UPLOAD RAM! it takes around 300mb of ram to run CA, there-about any FPS game... and XP takes around 50-200 MB of ram to run period... if you upgrade your ram, it still doesn't work, then it is probibly your Gfx card

Where can I buy those RAM chips or any other way to upgrade RAM? And what about the Gfx Card?
