Not necessarily.

The FX5600nu is just as fast as a GF3 or GF4Ti4200 ... so, it shouldn't
be an option for your system.

Intrigued as to how much difference a 'current' graphics card would
make, I borrowed a 5600 non-ultra, put the latest drivers on and found
that I only got an increase of around 5fps in UT2003.
Changing the level of eye candy from within the game doesn't make a
great deal of difference to the frame rate, so I'm guessing that the
CPU is holding things back here....correct?
