I just had a look at the spec of your computer & the details of your existing interface.
To be blunt, you are at the bare limit of what is usable with Reaper already & it might be worth seriously considering using Linux if you cant afford to upgrade your OS.
It certainly does seem like your Mbox 2 is past its sell-by date for most operating systems, but there is a possibility that there is a driver out there that will make it run OK in Linux.
Just checked and the last update you could use is for win 7 so looks like you are S.O.L.
Shame.
Failing that, you might be better off putting your money into a better spec used computer.
For example I have a core 2 duo powered laptop sitting here doing nothing that, if I sold it, would go for about £30-40 and way out-power your existing computer. AND it is running the current version of Win10.
Add a cheap modern interface & you would have a newer, but still not-that-great-for-music system.
Plenty of decent used lappies and indeed desktops out there for pocket money prices.
