And have you downloaded the latest drivers for your video card recently? That could have an effect. And tell us what your "Very Good" video card is, it may be the culprit.

Chances are it's an incompatibility, old driver, or bottleneck in your system. I don't think it's just cause to get people worried.

my comp is a 1.4 ghz Athalon, 256 mb DDR, and 16 mb AGP vid card, and i also can't run anything more than a 2vs2 smoothly with the graphic's anything other the highest settings. a 2vs3 gets slighting laggy, and a 3vs3 eventually get's really bad.
I think my probably is a combination of my RAM being too low (i have Win XP which takes about half of it) and my vid card (it's fairly old now, and even being AGP it is only 16 mb) but i don't really need to play anything more than a 2vs2 so i don't really need to upgrade.

There was probably some error or something with the graphics messing up his fps. It has happened once on my computer where the fps went drastically low. Your settings on your graphics card probably got screwed up if you mess with them ever or something, or there was just an error somewhere else. If you have at least 128 RAM and 32MB graphics card I bet you can run the game at full quality. Or maybe 256 RAM and 16MB graphics card. Nothing less than that though. I am running P4 1.8 GHz with 512 DDR RAM, 64 MB Radeon 7500, games will make the biggest difference on an upgrade in graphics card vs RAM.

If he was to get another processor, he would have to get a new motherboard ($100), and then a new processor ($200+), and then new RAM if he is running off of SDRAM ($80), so i would just stick with his setup for the money.
