RTS games like MoW are CPU and GPU dependent so you might want to try cleaning up your system and try to make sure nothing else is using your CPU unnecessarily while you are playing; un-install any unused programs (especially if your hard drive is almost full), defrag your hard drive, turn off any unnecessary programs running in the background to avoid losing CPU cycles, update your video and audio drivers if you have not done so in awhile, and you might even want to consider reformatting & re-installing Windows to ensure you remove any leftover crap if your Windows install is 1-2 years old.
What version of Windows are you running? You might actually find slightly better performance switching to another version, for example if you are using Vista, Windows 7 or even XP would be slightly better.
Another thing you can try is to overclock your CPU and GPU but being able to do so depends on if you have an OEM desktop system (e.g., DELL) or a custom-built system. The Q6600 is known to be a great overclocer, so you might be able to increase it by another 500 MHz or 1 GHz even using the stock cooler. And as you probably know, overclocking can in some cases damage the CPU and/or GPU if not done correctly. What is your system make and model? Do you know what MB you have?
