You probably have several things working against you. The first is that you are running a celeron machine - so despite its speed, it will be slow on games.
 
But, it more probable that your machine is using the integrated graphics (probably Intel) rather than the nVidia cards your are installing. You will need to uninstall all your graphic drivers, reboot, go into BIOS before the machine comes up in Windows, change the default from the integrated graphics to AGP or PCI (depending on the card you are using), save that configuration, bring up Windows, then install your nVidia drivers.
 
Having said that, neither of the nVidia cards will perform all that well.
