Is my CPU slowing my games? Would a CPU upgrade help?

Current Setup:

A64 3000+ @ Stock - 1.8Ghz
2 x 1GB Crucial Value RAM
ATI x1950 PRO 512MB
MSI Neo4 Platinum
Vista Ultimate 64bit

Currently gaming at 1680x1050

Looking at getting a X2 4200+ and another 2GB RAM.

Would this give me a quick and dirty performance boost? If so, would it be a little or a lot?
 
Thanks for the replys.

I plan to soon be playing rFactor and Race 07 with a bit of PES.. not sure if any of these support multiple cores.. I very much doubt PES does but the demo runs soo bad.. maybe its just another bad 360 port which is just one of many being dumped on the PC at the moment.

I was unsure if the CPU was holding back the VGA card but maybe it is simply the VGA card being pushed a tad too far. A great value for money card it is, I may look at the ATI 2900's for a gaming boost.
