Upgrade to at least 1GB RAM and try to see if'n you can't pick up a GeForce 7900 GT or an 8600 GT. However, getting a new video card isn't really advised, as the only thing you'll need to get a higher FPS is more memory...

Edit: Now that I see your processor speed, I'd suggest trying to upgrade to a dual-core. If that's out of your price range, try to pick up one that's at least clocked at 3.00GHZ or above.
