I assume you're trying to run at 1080p? First, try lowering the "resolution scaling" in the game settings all of the way down (I think 50% is the minimum). If this makes the game substantially smoother, then your GPU is likely the problem. Try reducing other graphical settings; the GeForce Experience does a pretty good job of doing this for you.
If that did nothing, it could be the CPU. If you have an aftermarket cpu heatsink, you can overclock a q6600 by quite a bit.This is a guide that seems reputable, but I haven't used it myself so, you know, proceed at your own risk.
Finally, although I find it hard to believe that your RAM could be slow enough to impact performance, do you know what your RAM's memory clock is?
The memory clock rate will top out at 800mhz under the standard DDR2 specification, he'd be seeing about 10gb/s throughput at the very best.
Yeah, but unless it is less than 800MHz, which was the gaming standard for a long time, I wouldn't expect it to matter. Newer games have needed more memory, not faster memory, for pretty much the entire life cycle of DDR3.
