Well the best place to ask is a tech based forum, but you're free to post one in our Technical Support forum as well. At least we all know exactly what D3 craves! ^^
You're screwed. You'll need a new machine altogether. :/

I think the RAM is your primary concern. 2GB of DDR2 is simply very low. Especially if you're on Win Vista/7 as it may reserve up to a full Gigabyte to run smoothly. I'd advise you to check your motherboard if you have DDR3 slots and just buy 4GBs of that. If not, then add at least 2 more Gigs to your already existing ram.
This still might not fix your issue thought. From what I've read the game is very CPU intensive. Your 2 cores might just not be enough. But just to be sure buy the RAM first as it's too low with 100% certainty. If the game still has issues - you're going to have to get a new CPU as well. The i3 and i5 Intel CPUs are currently pretty cheap. Make sure to go for a Revision 3 model (designated with a 4 digit model name). Also be sure to see if your motherboard can support it.

Sadly your case is very close to that of xx2112xx. Your graphics card is low-end and your CPU is 7 years old. That 1GB memory is only enough to run Windows and some pretty graphically weak games. I'm afraid you'll have to gather up some cash for a new machine if you want to try Diablo 3. If you want this forum to help out on building you a new PC you can post a price range and I'm sure there will be people around that will help you choose a good system.
