Honestly, anything pre-dating the Radeon HD series should be assumed to have absolutely piss-poor performance when using HLSL. If the damn thing can't even manage over 800x600, there's no helping this guy. The hardware upscaling that the monitor does will destroy any definition that the scanlines might otherwise have had, and that's not even factoring in the fact that scaling 800x600 to 1280x1024 is going to fuck up the aspect ratio.
