It would be a function of your graphics card.
What graphics card do you have?

If it is a factory built PC, what make and model?

Also, in Windows: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Infomation. Expand the Components section, and click Display.

I may not be around later, so I will add this. I believe your computer to be new enough to support some version of OpenGL. There are different versions, but by default, Photoshop may not use it.

With Photoshop open, click Edit, Preferences, Performance. In the GPU pane, see if you can select 'Enable OpenGL Drawing'.

I don't believe CS2 relied on Open GL, instead using DirectX. CS4 seems to take more advantage of Open GL. This plugin may be of recent design, intended more for CS4.

Which plugin?
