And now i don't know what i should do?
Maby yes...
Hello,
I currently run 1946 on a computer with similar specs to yours (I have already ordered a new one but that's a different story). Personally, I think you could do well in 1946 with lower detail settings and a bit of RAM for your computer. I have an Athlon 1800XP with 3GB RAM and a GeForce6200 (I used to have a Radeon 9600 until it died) and IL-21946 runs not awesome but alright on it. If you are running Windows XP with service Pack 3 I would definitely suggest more RAM (2GB at least). I was able to get 3GB of PC2100 DDR RAM for about $150 from Tiger Direct here in Canada. I'm sure there should be a similar option near where you live.
Cheers,

P.S. You may wish to run IL-21946 in unmodded form (only patched to v4.09) since some of the mods are definitely designed for newer computers and seriously degrade performance. Also, using one of the huge MOD packs like UI1.1, UP2.0 or HSFX4.1 can result in serioulsy long game loading times (like 10 minutes) on a computer of this vintage.
P.P.S. I just checked with Tiger Direct and it seems the biggest SDRAM sticks they have are 512MB. If you have 4 RAM slots on your motherboard you should be OK (even 3 slots or 1.5GB is better than 512 by itself).
