You have a nearly 7 year old graphics card being run on a 13 year old 
OS.  How long did you think they would continue to support either one? 
Your graphics card in particular (I could not find any reference to a 
3600, only 3650, so using that) has 20% of the texture fill rate, 20% of 
the pixel fill rate and 25% FLOPS speed of the GT640, a card you can buy 
all day long on Ebay for $60 new or ~$40 used... and it is quieter and 
draws less power.

Time to stop cheaping out.  You want to play, eventually you have to pay.
