The part of that system that's holding back the performance index is the video chip - which cannot be upgraded.  Put whatever you'd spend on a CPU, RAM (which is DDR-2, and as it is obsolete now, will be expensive) toward a new system.

At $212 it's expensive - and will not change your performance index.

The Windows Experience Index is limited by the slowest component in the system - in this case, the video chip.  That's the one thing you cannot upgrade.
