The 8800 is fine.

PS is a bit lacking but I think you'll be able to keep it anyways.

Your CPU (P4 640 Prescott 3.2GHz Dual Core 775 Socket) is not a dual core whatsoever.

Information on your CPU here:

So I'd update your CPU, Mobo and Ram.

I'm sure if you want to msn me on my server and leave a message. I can give you a hand in the selection process giving you the best bang for your buck.

you're running the benchmark at non-standard settings?
that could be part of the score problem.
set "maintain aspect ratio" in the nvidia driver panel and run it again at all default settings.
