Google: "how to find out my system specifications"

Everything here can be found on Google, goddamn.

2gb of RAM just doesn't cut it for newer games, which I believe he is intending to play.

I can play Portal with 512 MB Ram with absolutely NO lag with all settings maxed out.

That's because Portal is purposefully undemanding, and the source engine is dated?

I get lag playing Team Fortress 2, but very little and that's only with projectiles flying everywhere.
And I have an ATI Radeon HD 9800 that is 4 years old.

Get a normal PC, not a netbook, ffs.
EDIT: You're running with built in graphics. Get a video card.

0.0 so um... which video card would be better than built in graphics? I dont want better graphics though, i want my games to run better (higher FPS).

I think you're better upgrading it.
