Are you talking about the old republic? For a lot of people, the shadows are too much to bare for their builds. Turn off shadows see what happens. Otherwise, its hard to reccomend an upgrade on an LGA 775 socket computer. If your going to upgrade, your better off salvaging everything except the processor, ram, graphics card, and motherboard and start with the newer i5 or i7 processors. Also, check for driver updates to your graphics card.
