Mr.
While graphics can be a limitation your CPU and memory also play a huge part in performance.

I would recommend at least 1GB of memory, especially if you're running XP.

Your graphics card is a little low, so don't expect to be running the game at high resolution with all the bells and whistles turned on. You will have to compromise between look and playability. To be honest having higher FPS will benefit your online experience as you'll find a lot more of your shots will register if you have decent FPS (>45-50). It sucks to have a pretty screen and no kills.

Source is fairly CPU intensive so make sure that all unnecessary programs are closed down to free up as much CPU resources as possible.
