I don't want to recreate the wheel but their are many things to do to increase performance in games with your computer. Details on how to do these things can be found by doing a google search for any of the following.
* Latest drivers for your video card, motherboard, sound card can improve things greatly at times.
* Defrag your hard drive. It's prefferable to defrag 'before' installing so that the files stay close together and contiguous.
* If you only have 512MB or 1GB memory, 2GB is highly recommended.
* Go into your driver control panel to make sure antialiasing(AA) or anisotropic filtering(AF) is not enabled unless you want them to be, they effect performance alot. Also you can change texture filtering quality to provide more performance in the drivers.
* If you are running Vista make sure to be using the current hotfixes, some effect performance and memory usage tremendously. Nvidia has a great list of recommended ones here: Vista hotfixes
* A video card like an 8800 GT for $250 will provide tremendous results if you haven't upgraded in a long time.
* Disabling any unneeded running process, especially antivirus, while playing is recommended.
