PC Lag Problem

[Diego]

Hey,

I dont usually need help with computers, this would be a first, but I am having some odd issues with my new PC,

I'm running a:

Pentium 4 2.0A
GeForce 4 Ti-4200
Western Digital 40GB 7200Rpm HDD (ATA-133)
512 PC-2700 DDR Ram

And some other basic PC stuff, but the problem is when I play BF1942, it lags horribly at times. I just tossed my 3200RPM/17GB/ATA-33 HDD for that new one yesterday and it still has some lag issues. It couldn't possibly be from the memory, I have 512MB of it and I dont think ANY game needs more. The graphics card is insane. The game doesn't always lag, it just gets one of those moments. Is there something I can change in the settings? Should I put it on 800x600/32? Because its running at 768x1024/32 and I don't see a good reason as to why it would lag.

Someone throw me a bone here, thanks. =)
