I bet it will. The problems you're describing sound almost like you 
don't have hardware acceleration.

Try this and see if it makes anything better: Right click on desktop, 
personalize, scroll down to "basic and high contrast themes" and choose 
"windows 7 basic." This turns off a lot of flashy features like 
transparency on the window borders.

If that partly helps but not all the way, I would definitely try a 
better video card.
