A 7600GS isnt much faster than a 6600GT, I would think a Barton 3200+ would max it out pretty much. Google "doom 3 cpu battlegrounds" for an Anandtech CPU scaling article
You can pickup a used AGP 9800pro or 6600gt for under $100 which is a lot faster than a 9600pro
Oh if you did have a bit more $ for upgrade:
AM2 x2 3600+ $110
mobo $150
1gb ddr $80
7600GS $130 (easy to find used one tho for less)
OC it and that thing is cheap and fast
