The onboard graphics chip in your PC is holding the frame rate back. It's a Radeon Xpress 200 and is indeed using 256mb of your system memory.
The Xpress 200 is an older onboard chip and therefore it's likely that the motherboard will have an AGP slot. If you were to buy a new graphics card, I would look for a Radeon 9800Pro on ebay as a new AGP card really isnt worth it.

Edit: When I try to run it, I get a message that I am trying to use an old version :think: but the web link provided for updating doesn't work.

It will work if you put your machine's date back a few years, as I remember the message came up in 2005 so 2004 should do it.

For good tips on increasing frame rates, read this thread, particularly posts 4 and 15:

Note: 'TextureMaxLoad' is NOT the same as 'Texture_Max_Load' as assumed by some in the above thread!
