I don't think you have enough ram. Soilder front is an old game and does not take up a lot of resources but I believe the main cause for your lag is because of vista. It is a ram hog and 1 gb of ram will simply not cut it. Maybe tone down the vista effects to free up ram and also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.
