The most likely cause of your slow down is the graphics card since it only has 64k onboard memory.

It really depends on your price bracket but i would say you need a reasonably fast cpu with a minimum of 1 GB of Ram ,2 or more is better and the best graphics card you can afford(take a look at qualifying cards) but most onboard motherboard cards are not usually up to the job.

i think thats a personal choice,myself I prefer intel but others swear by Athlon of course it depends too on what other uses your pc is for.

I have an Intel 2.8 GHz processor with a 256MB NVidia Graphics card and 1 GB ram. It works well so far but like jsprogg said, I wish I had 2 GB Ram instead.

Seems like more people might use Athlon but right now I'm more than happy with my Intel.
