Im trying to play Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel and it runs fine till i get to a fight, when that happens the fps drops to about 20. Im using the newest beta client and im not sure what configs to put, or if thats even the problem.
Computer Specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel® Celeron® CPU 900 @ 2.20 GHz, 2.19GHz
3GB RAM
Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family
and idk what else to put

Your processor is going to be the biggest problem. The Celeron 900 is only a single core processor and of intel's budget line at that. You're just not going to get very good speed out of that. Any real actiony scenes are going to kill your FPS and there isn't anything you can do about it aside from getting a faster dual core processor.

its not just actiony scenes, its really anything that includes my player moving. Oh i have DirectX 10 but for some reason when i try to use it in the games, it makes my computer crash, why is that?

The DX10 plugin has never been very good with Intel Integrated cards, maybe if you updated your
GSdx it would be better.
For your speed problem you could try enabling all speedhacks including "x2 cycle rate" and "vu cycle stealing" set to moderate or higher and maybe set the clamp modes in "config > advanced" settings to none but as said before because of your current machine it might still be too slow.

Are you sure your integrated graphics card can even use DirectX 10? Considering how old your machine is, it's likely that it can't.
