                can you be more clear? 1.2 and 2 what? by video RAM im guessing you mean the RAM on the video card and by memory RAM im guessing you mean your RAM on your motherboard, correct?

                    you have a 9600gt with 1.2gb's of VRAM? are you sure you have the correct number? also, what is the speed of your computers RAM?

                      Uhhh I don't think its ur processor. I underclocked my 3.8 GHZ duo core to 2.0 each core and i dont get any low fps with most games. but oh well. if u think its ur procesor.

                      What processor do you have on your system?

                      What game are you trying to play?

                      Does it happen with other games, or other applications?

                      How's your internet connection?

                      I suggested those links before because it might not be a hardware problem, it could be a software problem.
                      For example, there could be a broken game file
                      OR
                      You could have too many programs running at startup/the same time
                      OR
                      The disk is heavily fragmented.

                      Although they may seem like a lot, the guide is pretty straight forward.
