Well, Morrowind is a resource hog, your graphics card wouldn't really help that, as it mostly relies on everything BUT the card.
Lower the view distance, get FPS optimizer, get a better computer (Doesn't really help, I can play Oblivion on high, but Morrowind just screws up for me).
Or, if you have patience, wait for OpenMW, the open source reimplementation of Morrowind.

try this if you are dual core:

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4  - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.
