For a game like BF42, it seems to me the CPU is a weak link. However, I think adding RAM would help also. These games store huge textures.
It would be best if you got another 512MB stick, but even 2-256MB sticks of a compatible type to what you have would help you. An ATI 9600
SHOULD best your old Nvidia card. Dunno about the relationship between RAM and vidcard, but I do know that lots of games I play got much smoother after going from 512 to 1024MB of RAM. The games heavy on visuals really seem to need it.
