This seems like a fairly miserable performance to me; is the problem the GPU being the bottle neck or is something else wrong?

Today (actrually before this) I ordered a new GPU (XFX 7600GT). An estimates as to how much that will improve things?

My current system is in my sig and is running stock (no OC).
Sorry to bump this, but I was hoping someone would give me a response on the depressing numbers quoted above, and it seems the discussion has moved on before anyone had a chance.

I am wondering if replacing the video card will get me into respectable benchmark numbers or if there may be other performance issues that need to be addressed.

Again my current rig is in my sig and I ordered an XFX GeForce 7600 GT xxx edition to upgrade trhe GPU.

Thanks
