vid Card probs

First off I'll list my P.c info

1st P.c. Dell dimen 3000
2.66gh 2g DDR Nvidia gf6200 256mb DDR2 Pci
P.c. does not have Pcie which really sucks.

So anywho I just bought the Nvidia 6200 to play games on my 3000. Currently I have Battlefield 2, Rome t.w. and WOW

As you can see I meet or exceed these requirements. Now my problem is this...
I can play battlefield 2 on my 3000 with all graphic settings on high no problems at all. yet when I try Rome or WOW on my 3000 they lags horribly. Which makes no sense considering BF2 requires alot o fmy comp then wow or rome. if I lower the resolution it gets a little better but still lags pretty bad. Yet I can turn around and play these games on my chittier p.c with no problems at all at max resolution except BF2. So I'm a little lost here I've downloaded all the current drivers for both video cards. Could My problem be that Rome and WOW are having problems with the Pci card. I mean you would think they would put that within the minimum requirements wouldn't you.


Not sure if this thread should be in this forum or if I should post this in the games but I'll be posting it at both of them. If this thread is in the wrong place I apologize... Thanks
