I mostly play Grand theft auto sanandreas, need for speed most wanted and
halo. But after upgrading to vista GTA and NFS both lag and halo's sound is
sort of choppy. Can anyone help me fix this?

You might try checking the Vista Games groups......or see if the game
distributors have any patches for Vista.

May I ask why you decided to upgrade to Vista, especially if your a PC
gamer? Any research I have done on gaming on a Vista machine at this
time shows that XP is by far less troublesome and faster (for games
designed to run on XP not Vista). You really can't expect a game to run
flawless on an OS that wasn't even released when the game was
developed can you? Those games were designed for XP not Vista.

I upgraded for the new security and the version of xp that came with my
computer for some reason kept saying that I was a victim of software
counterfiting so instead of buying xp i baight vista because they were
basicly the same price. I never thought about what my gaming would be like
at the time.

Did you actually have a pirated version of XP?

Be truthful, please.

These specs do seem crappy but ALL of the games I listed played fine before
vista, I also looked them up online and it says they should work.

How much RAM do you have?
 
there you have it mate...not enough RAM for a start and TBH you need an
upgrade on your system

As said in my specs, 768MB soon to be upgraded to 1.25GB is that enough to
make an increase in gaming preformance.

not really...1.25GB might just keep the OS happy, you want to be looking at
2gb+ for gaming

I dont think my system can fit up to 2gb because it only has one slot left,
Since the os seems to run ok on 768mb do you think 1.7gb will speed my games
up enough?
