you made a big mistake buying that card with your crappy cpu
youll get horrible performance in most games due to the huge bottleneck (courtesy your cpu) the review you saw on wiki most likely was conducted on modern hardware and so is way better
i think the best you can do at this point is o'c the hell out of your cpu (4-4.1 ghz) or overhaul your computer
upgrading to a core 2 quad also may solve your problem

Minecraft runs on java so I'm pretty sure your GPU has nothing to do with it. It's your processor that's ruining it!
