1. Get more RAM memory, 1GB is not enough (i get lag spikes with 1.5GB RAM, at lowest graphical settings), especially since the video card has shared memory.
2. Change the operating system (get a Windows XP SP2, DON’T get a Home edition).
3. [Optional] Get a better video card, this one for example “http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-512-P2-N738-LR-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics/dp/B0011FKI3M/ref=sr_1_18?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1282134080&sr=1-18″.
Good luck.
