That processor would be a bottleneck for a 6800 AGP card from 7 years ago. There's no other way to say this, you need to upgrade.
I'll explain the logic of it. It doesn't matter how powerful your card is, if your processor is maxed there's nothing more the GPU can do.
In the past 6-7 years speeds have increased dramatically, then we switched to dual core, dual cores could multitask significantly better than single procs. The first generation of dual cores were simply the same speed as the fastest single procs but they had their core split, so that 4ghz proc turned into 2 cores, each at 2ghz. Over time the dual cores reached 8ghz, then tri cores and quad cores came out, meaning 3 and 4 cores. They could obviously multitask even better. Each of those cores on a current $100 quad core proc now is literally faster than your
entire processor.
There are confusing aspects of dual and quad core games, just b/c you have a quad core proc doesn't mean the game will be using all of the cores, it's a matter of how the game was programmed, when quad cores first came out a very high clocked dual core obliterated the quad cores as games could only use 2 of the cores from the quad core so it ran at half the speed.
Bad Company 2 is a true quad core game, your 3ghz single core proc can barely handle processing the sounds.
