Memory...
Ok, well I play this MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and it I recently downloaded the update for it for better performance and stuff. Well after that I started to play the game again but it did something with my settings so it could reach the minimum requirements, clicked ok, but said something like my graphics card needs to be updated and/or computer doesn't have enough memory to run the game properly. Well at least I can still play but I just won't have good performance. So I'm wondering will uninstalling a couple of programs and deleting a couple of files help make room? Or do I need to get a graphics card? If so, which one should I get? I have a Windows XP.

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Memory is the amount of RAM in your computer, not the amount of hard drive storage. See my article here for more info:

And my article here to make the most out of what you have:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Go to start, run. Type:
sysdm.cpl
The last line of text on the window that comes up will say something like:
"3.40GHz, 3.00GB of RAM"
Make sure these values meet the system requirements of the game. 1024MB=1GB, 1000MHz=1GHz. If it doesn't meet the requirements or it meets the requirements just barely, you might want to upgrade. RAM(the GB or MB value) is easy and cheap to upgrade. CPU(the GHz or MHz value) is very expensive and difficult to upgrade.
For you, I recommend an 8600GT-based graphics card; they're cheap, but they'll get the job done. This one would be good for you:

Or this if cost is a big factor:

Make sure your computer has a spare PCI or AGP slot, and that it is the correct type. Not all graphics cards fit in all computers.
