OK misleading handle then

In short the Savage never was a good card, and now it is also an old card. Worse still is that processor. I still don't understand why Intel even considered releasing a processor without an internal cache, times have moved on since the Spectrum...
The minimum requirements for DBPro if I remember correctly is a PII processor. The Celeron 400 is slower than a 400Mhz Pentium I. I believe it also lacks the MMX command set.
Certainly 'lag' in the sense of poor framerates is not an issue I suffer with on my machine, a P2Ghz, 512mb, GeForce2 or indeed my slave machine P800, 512mb, TNT2. I would imagine a new PC is going to sort out the problems you have experienced. Which is good because then you'll be able to play my games
However 'lag' is normally a reference to network performance and in the case of DB that meens multiplayer gaming. The multiplayer aspect appears to perform at about the same speed as far as I can tell, as lag is really down to the way that the specific application/game has been programmed or your network/internet connection.
