I would like to play at higher than the minimum settings with my framrate not in the teens.
I've got a gig of RAM and a RADEON X800XL 256MB (PCI EXPRESS X16) video card, 2.1 Gig processor
What do you guys think?
another gig of RAM?
new video card? recommendations?

I played on my old box with a 2.4ghz processor, X800XT (AGP) and 2 gigs of ram and had no lag issues. So if I had to guess.. you could try putting another stick of ram in. It's ridiculously cheap nowadays anyhoo.

Another gig of RAM would help with lag and raise framerates a bit, but if you really want to raise your framerate with higher settings you'll need a new vid card. Any price ranges?

As previously stated, another gig of ram is the best bang for your buck thing you can do. If that doesn't do the trick, you should check to see what motherboard you're running. You can pick up a faster single-core proc for pretty cheap and if you've got a board that can handle SLI, you could pick up a matching video card for about $100.
