the reason for your slow fps is because of your video card, try upgrading k? everything else seems to be average or good, but its that savage card, try upgrading to a cheep geforce 2 or if you can pick up a tnt2 card do it, youll see wonders in your games, the savage 4 was a pretty good card for its time, it performed on par with the voodoo 3 (even though the voodoo 3 was handicaped) and when I mean handicaped, it could only use 16bit and only had 16mb of vram, I advise you to upgrade ur graphics card... and 512mb of ram no matter what type it is, its still pretty good, because if the ram matches ur fsb or higher, then theres no point in getting faster ram, *shrugs* anyways good luck dude and btw I am now getting 50-60 fps
my system is,
AMD K-6 300mhz
320mb of sd ram
ATI Radeon 9500pro (its got L shaped memory and is able to be boosted upto a 9700)
but yeah ive stuffed around with my settings and Im slowly creeping to 100 fps mark

I think its pretty good considering what my processor is! LMAO
