I want best Performance

doubt25

so my PC is old.
Graphic Card is like 8-9 year old -> GeForce 7900 GT/GTO and i have 4GB RAM.
Processor -> Intel Core 2 Duo E6400

Frame drops badly when my screen gets populated by action and what i want is you guys suggest me the best possible Options adjustments to run the game with good performance. I dont care how much graphic beauty it will cost.
Please try to be as detailed as possible in what i need to change at Options.

Turn off shadows or set it to low. Set Special Effects to low. You can also reduce the Ground Clutter to about 160. Having said that, though, when there are upwards of 20 people fighting the same mob you are, performance takes a dive, no matter what you do. A lot of the problems lie with Cryptic and their antiquated coding. The biggest annoyance for me is the amount of time it takes for all the game's textures to load in properly when zoning into an instance. Almost everyone playing this game has that issue, unless they are running an absolute beast of a rig that costs a cr@ptonne of money.

This is how I've had to run the game since Mod 5. Before that, I could run at higher settings.
