De-fragment your HDD regularly.
Disable any anti-virus,firewall etc. while playing games.
Play games at 640x480x16 res. (They will look damn ugly,but performance boost will be huge.)
You can get a nice performing cheap card like 6600GT if you sell your current card and add a bit more to budget.

Fine tune ur windows xp.....even disabling ur anti virus wont help (unless its kaspersky i dnt know any other) it will be running in the background.....in short ur windows xp shud look like windows95:) for ultimate gaming experience.

Norton,Symantec,Mcafee all use more resources than Kaspersky which worked like a charm on my 128 mb RAM.:p

You can certainly give your XP the 95 look.This will not just improve gaming performance,but also general PC performance.

yes there are the softwares , Gameboost is the one. it claimes to increase game performance and internet speed. And also power defragment is a tool that increase your game speed, you have to give just path of folder where game is installed and then dfrag it...done .

Dude forget latest games,these games even bring latest hardwares to their knees.Look for games released 4-5 years back,games like return to castle wolfenstein,Max payne and a lot others,not only they provide immersing gameplay but also should run smoothly on your system.
