My graphics card is an old old Radeon 9600. Available physical memory is 97.81MB, my available virtual memory is 1.96GB. It's a poor effort really.

Already done that BiG_Delicious. Which is annoying, and leads me to think it's a Windows component instead of an application.
Sorry mate, how much physical RAM is that?
That'll be your problem right there. On WinXP with a lesser graphics card than you have (admittedly a little while back) the vital piece of the puzzle, for me, was upping my RAM to 768MB. I'm currently running on 1.75GB RAM... more RAM seems to be vital these days. 512MB hasn't cut it for a while.
Without more RAM, very likely yes.

Get yourself some more RAMmy RAM its pretty cheap now to get urself an extra Gig and is defo worth it. and yeah its the easiest thing in the world
Updating RAM is easy. Choosing the right RAM isn't so easy. Can you find out what the make/model of your motherboard is, or at least the make/model of the computer? That might help me/us figure out what RAM you'd need.
Ideally, you'd have the order/delivery sheet that described the specification of your computer. That would tell you what RAM you've already got and, therefore, what you'd be needing.
Unfortunately "AWRDACPI" stands for "Award ACPI", which is just a specific branding not a make/model.
I suggest trying to find the original order sheet for your computer and seeing what that has to say for itself.

You could try the Crucial System Scanner. Crucial are a very good make of RAM, their system scanner can be used to provide more info about your system and (hopefully) provide you with the right type of RAM that you need. You don't need to buy it from there once you have the info, so use what you can get 
The main linked version thre uses Internet Explorer, I believe there is a exe on there somewhere that you can download and get to do the same thing too

Or you could use everest its an awesome ickle program that tells you everything you need to know about your pc. I had issues with the crucial scanner that claimed my pc3200 ddr, was actually ddr2 of some sort and that there was half as much of it as there actually is. Everest gives you all your system sensors in one as well giving all your system temps in one list.
