Based on those specs, I think you should upgrade both your video card and CPU as what Daynov said. But since this is a Dell PC, I'm not sure if it's possible to change the CPU because I've heard that it is soldered unto the motherboard. It is possible to change the video card, though.

''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
I have an i5 and a gtx260 and the crappy game auto-defaulted to it's "Ultra" setting.
I started the game and it was completely unplayable.
Downloaded FRAPS (ran it) and found out why - 9 frames per second standing still at the start of the tutorial.
I altered the options (from the launcher for the game, not options from inside the game), from "Ultra" to "Medium" and net about 24 frames per second at the same place. (..which was just barely playable.)
I then used this guide for setting the video options more specifically (increasing the quality in certain respects and decreasing in others from the "Medium" setting):

I kept the vertical sync but enabled (in the video card settings) Triple Buffering for the Witcher 2.
Now I'm getting about 34 frames per second at the same place. It's playable now. Now all I have to do is figure out is which keys to program for my gaming controller (and where to place them). That could take a while as well..
