make sure you're using dx9 graphics, with efb to texture enabled. Your computer is a little slow though.

You not mentioned your graphics card or chip info.
However your processor speed is more than mine's but your RAM is half of mine's. However I've never seen anyone who have lower specs than mine(maybe I had the lowest) but I'm getting fullspeed but I have slowdowns in some events.

PS: However even if you have 4gb ram, 32 bit OS uses only 2GB of RAM.

No it isn't. Clock speed != processing speed. Your T6500 is going to be faster than his athlon X2 in many games.

Incorrect. A 32 bit OS uses 4GB of total memory, including video ram, caches, BIOS ROM, I/O, and other stuff. Usually about 3.25GB of main memory is usable in a system with 512MB of dedicated video ram. Turning in PAE will fix this issue by allowing a 32 bit OS to address up to 64GB of total memory, at the cost of some cpu performance.

The OP has an athlon X2, which is way too slow for running a cpu heavy game like sonic colors well, end of story. The OP needs to upgrade his cpu and/or system to achieve playable speeds. And that's assuming his GPU is good enough, and he still hasn't told us what GPU he is using.
