What kind of motherboard are you using? You might be able to swap that modest dual-core chip for a Q6600 quad-core one. These components are really affordable—just about $15—and they’ll boost your performance noticeably. Once you upgrade, you could even consider a better graphics card. Edit: but keep in mind, a new CPU alone won’t bring huge gains. That GPU will still be quite limited, and you’ll likely only see around 720p with everything off.
Upgrade the processor and graphics card, and you’ll likely need to replace the power supply unit for both components.
