I've been running the game quite successfully on my ancient AMD single core 3000+ Athlon since day 1. The only time you really get slowdown is in a huge port or when the exploding ships do their "fireworks display" and that is going to be fixed very soon. Any mods I have installed so far have done little or nothing to impact frame rates. Give it a try on your old machine you might be pleasantly surprised I was going to upgrade but changed my mind when I saw that the game actually ran quite well (just turn the dynamic shadows off).
