Get more memory, 32Mb just isn't enough any more for serious 
games/sims. 64Mb is an absolute minimum and 128Mb is even better.
If you have a BX m/b (100MHz bus) then get pc100 compliant memory.

Get a 12Mb Voodoo2 or Rendition based 3D card, I don't *think* your 
card is either?

Try overclocking your cpu, (you may be able to get 350, or 375, or 
even 415MHz?) depending on your m/b? No, I'm not gonna tell you how, 
(I'm not going through all that again!) check out any of the many 
good overclocking sites on the web.
