dave,
the first thing you might need is go to ati's website (http://www.ati.com)
and download the latest drivers for your video card. you may also find more
information about your video card here:
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx550/index.html
your video card's driver may be downloaded here:
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27
you have good enough ram, and most new games would run properly with xp.
a 3.2GHz processor is good enough too. (although you might have amd athlon
64 or amd sempron or intel pentium 4. amd and intel are competitors.)
hope this helps a bit.
regards!
