Mac, I'd say it's worth a try if you're having problems. You're right, that card is firly old, but new drivers might breathe new life into it. Of course, when you get ready to upgrade, you can buy the low end of the latest rev cards (a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200-based card, for example, which is about 4-5 times better than the card you have) for about $100 at Wally World or Best Buy.
