I also have a copy of good old Blackbox installed so that I can play games without anything else in the background. But that is probably just because I personally still have a strong affinity for that environment. And my CPU is not the strongest in the world either.
There is also an interesting project called XGamer which will basically do what I do above by loading games in their own separate Openbox session, leaving your own desktop isolated in the background. May sound like a bit of a hack, but it is actually kind of fun to use.

any suggestions for a new card? they should work faster on the hd7950 opensource driver
the 4890 or 6900 series would probably give you a decent sized boost. Although maybe still not enough to be playable.
In the short term, your best bet is probably using the binary drivers.
