QFT. My old 800MHz PIII could barely play the game unless it was small servers. Stick to small servers and since you won't get high FPS anyway,your better off sticking to AOW and avoiding sniping. The game settings depend more on your video card. I don't think any of them are CPU bound except maybe particle detail (so leave that at low/medium).
I'll second the motion that Vista on that CPU is probably a bad idea in itself, let alone running games on top of it. Vista is something like 5%-10% (sometimes more) slower on average than XP even on current systems, so just going to XP on your older one should give a small decent boost right there.
