Buy a new graphics card. It's the only way.
Try looking for a ATI 4850 512mb. Should be cheap now that it's a year or so old.

ok guys i looked around and saw that both cards do almost the same in performance for cod4
The Ati 4850 card: Powercolor ATI 4850 512MB
The EVGA GeForce 8400 GS: EVGA GeForce 8400 GS Video Card - 256MB DDR2, Supporting 512MB with TurboCache, PCI Express, DVI, VGA, TV Out, Video Card at TigerDirect.com
btw everywhere ive looked for the Ati 4850 card its all sold out.
Well, to be quite honest, if you're going to upgrade go with something that going to allow you to expand later on. Going small now is just going to make you spend more in the near future.
I'm not saying to go out and buy Nvidias GeForce 295GTX ~ $500... but spending a little more on a graphics card will allow you to play some of the newer games without having to upgrade so soon. Even something like a 9400 GT would suffice for a little while.
* Make sure when you're choosing your card that you have enough power/plug in cords for the new card. The ATi 4850 requires atleast a 450W PSU with atleast one 75W 6-pin PCI-e power connector.
