Issues on running games on high settings.

I recently got a new Windows 7 computer. Figured it was time to upgrade from my old XP. But Im having trouble running games like World in Conflict, Company of Heroes even on the medium settings. They run Ok on the low settings but I would prefer to run them on high. My computer does exceed the recommended specs demanded from these games but the framerate slows down the higher I try to set them. Is there something wrong with my computer? I cant even get Battlefield 2 to run on high settings without skips and a low framerate and that game came out in 2005! Here are my specs.

System: Acer Aspire X3400G Windows 7

Processor: AMD Anthlon II X2 255 3.1GHz (2 CPUs)

RAM: 4GB

Nvidia GeForce 9200

The drivers are updated. Also is it possible that an old moniter can slow a games performance? Im using a monitor from 2003. Any help would be appreciated.

That GPU is holding you back. The 9200 is quite weak.

OK thanks. Any recommendations on video cards for PCI-e that can get the job done but not to expensive?

Which is why I didn't call it a video card ;)

Edit: btw I agree with the HD 6770 suggestion
