Answer:
Looks like you don't have enough memory. 512MB is OK for for most stuff, like surfing the net, or using Word, but for memory intensive stuff like games you should have at least 1GB. You might try to see if you are running any tasks that you don't need while playing the game and shut those down.
You should also look for spyware which may have snuck on your machine. You can get Ad-Aware from lavasoft.com for free.
I assume you have some sort of virus protection program running to look for bad stuff also. If not, you can get a free checkup from Trend Micro and I think MacAffe will give you a free scan. Check their web pages.
Don`t play it
