Online games for low spec PC's

The ultimate question: which games can you run on low spec pcs that dont have lots of bugs and are fun to play?

My friend and I play games online, consisting of half life, tfc and occasionally Jedi knight.
The problem is we've been playing these for a while and we're getting sick of them.
The computer in question can run tfc without too much problems, but another half life mod, like counterstrike is out of the question.

Can anyone suggest games we can buy and play, or games online that would keep us occupied, or even sites where we can find games like this.

thanks.

Ah, one other thing, i was trying to find something that would be like the creature on black and white, where we could train them up then fight them, but the only things i found were neopet etc, any suggestions for this kind of thing would be good.

I just got some specs for you, by low spec, i should have said crappy:
200mhz processor (probably celeron)
48mb RAM
3gb hard disk (with 500mb free)
The challenge just got harder.

I don't think UT2003 would fit that list. The original UT might though. I'd try that. The original Quake would but I'm not sure if that's multiplayer. Quake II would probably work but only at lower settings. Generally any game that was made 2 or 3 years ago would fill the bill. Lucky for you since those games are really cheap right now.

Unreal is a game with a mission and UT is arena style game.

Total Annihilation is great. Also recommended is Heroes of Might and Magic 2.
