NO cost option= use low resolution, 16bit color quality and low game quality settings.
Costly option= install this PCI graphics card:

More expensive option= Upgrade to a PCIe graphics format using the cheapest Core2 Duo, E2140. Install at least an 8400GS graphics card. Further performance gain can be obtained by overclocking both the processor and the card. More on the 8400GS here:

The 9250 only runs DirectX8 with DDR. Try something like this:

if you are realy in intessive gaming i will recomend you to upgrade your video card with 512mb DDR of memory,with latest chipset as possible and add more RAM with a total atleast 1 gb (2gb recomended). if you have an LGA775 socket motherboard that can support Dual Core,Quad Core is better i will also recomend you to upgrade that. The higher the FSB and Cache the better. But this will cost you alot, but will surely make your pc runs better on gaming.

I agree with Arbi_pogi.
But perhaps you can try the simpler stuff first. Increasing RAM memory to 2 GB would be my first recommendation.
You may also want to check your Startup Configuration and remove any unnecessary software loaded into your computer during startup.

Try over clocking it getting proven 3rd party drivers and if your desperate use 3d analyzer and disable everything.......
