If your comp can't handle the game on your current settings, try this:
-Turn graphics all the way down
-use full screen mode (it helps, oddly enough)
-close all other programs, including idles like weather bug and the toolbars
-disconnect and reconnect your modem before playing (via control panel)

And lee-yoshi, try bringing a boombox into the computer area, ya?

I have a lousy Dell 2350 with NO upgrades and BB works perfectly under these settings.
