Well its not exactly old. 3.2 ghz, 800 mhz front bus, 1gb ram, 280gb hard drive, 550w pwr supply... It should run the game just fine, but it doesn't . So I think its the graphics card

You could give it to me..... my ATI 9500 Pro should run it fine. and then explode 
. like click said get the 6600 GT or get a new mobo and proc. soudns like your still running DDR not DDR2 so you could get a nforce 4 board and a 3500+ for a couple a bucks than get a good PCI-E card. or maybe you have DDR2 forgot when they switched to DDR2 think it was the intel 915 chipset. anyway you could do that also but i think your prolly running 865 chipset. so in conclusion, your stuck spending a bunch of money either way.
PS: Game looks awsome

You're wayyy confusing.
To put it simple.
95LSv is running older P4 - aka socket 478. The system has DDR1 with AGP. Best match. You could upgradt to beter AGP card. I have X800Pro AGP on mine and play all games fine - on part with 6600GT or may be better. Haven't play that game but shouldn't be an issue.
It's a waste to transfer the system to PCI-E since he can't use most of his stuff (CPU, Ram, etc.) For PCI-E, it's best to match with DDR2 - Mobo with chipsets better 915 (ie: 925 and onward though I'd recommend 945P for a good price).
So, the cheapest way is to get a better graphic card.
I have that AGP for sale if you're interested.
