Also what version of windows are you running? If its 32bit you don't have but 3.5gigs of ram. That video card isn't good for the newer games either. I do agree that I've never seen a system with 5 gigs of ram either... guessing 2x2gb + a single gb stick? Get a program called CPU-Z, and look in the memory tab, and see if it actually lists it all as running at 800 mhz.

Doesn't matter if its xp,7,or 8 if its 32 bit you're still running only 3.5gb. Next question is how do you have the sticks in your computer is it 2/2/1 or 2/1/2, the second setup will be faster. THe 2gb sticks need to be in teh same colored slots not next to eachother, this will help things a bit, but not a ton.

Okay I guess the next question is what is holding you back... get a GPU and CPU monitoring program (just google for one, doesn't much matter which) and see which is working the hardest during your game, this will tell you which piece to try and either OC or replace.
