Off-Topic / A little technical question....

Well for all you Nvidia users I have a question. My grandmother lent us her PC for a while after it broke down and after it was fixed I decided to have a go at testing the PC's GPU.
The GPU is an Nvidia 6100 with 256MB of memory. I ran Pacific Fighters and tested the Shaders by activating the 3D water and the framerate is like a d@mn turtle.
Then I switched the video mode from OpenGL to DirectX and the framerate increased a bit but it was still laggy. My older PC with the 64mb GPU ran better than this one.
So I tested an old game (Midtown Madness 2 and this game only required 8mb of video memory) and what was real shocking was that the frame rate was not very great. My older rig had a more decent framerate than on my grandma's PC.
So guys I was hoping if you could help me out with this one. How is it that a 256mb video card has trouble running a game that only requires 8mb of video memory?
