I have a 500MHZ Proccessor and 128MB of RAM I'm not sure if I have a graphics card, I think it might be built into the motherboard, will Max Payne run on this computer?

I would hate to say no, that it won't run at all, but I'm betting that if it does, you won't be happy with it.. You can check your graphics card by right clicking your desktop out in the middle of nowhere, then properties, then settings, advanced, and lastly, adapter.. In that box you should see your card and driver both..
Good luck to you..

Ew, Trident video card. Sadly to say, no way. You'll need a new video card.

Is there a way I can test it's performance?

You could try 3DMark2000 from http://gamershq.madonion.com

It's a widely used 3D benchmark engine.

"Total AGP Memory: 32MB" does this mean the memory on my graphics card?

Run 3dMark2001 and do a benchmark. If you score 900 or higher you can run Max Payne

I got a 525 on 3DMark and it works pretty good. Of course I was running the test at 1024 x 768. In MP, I've lowered it to 800 x 600.
