Have a look at the following article:
http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...809/index.html

The test system has a P4 3.2Ghz and 1024MB Corsair DDR400 CL2. With this,
the Ti4200 gets 22.3fps on medium quality at 1024x768. You'd get roughly
the same figure with your current system, given that you have a slightly
better graphics card, but slower CPU and bus-speed.

The 6800GT gets 72fps on high quality at 1024x768, but your current system
might hold back the potential of this card a little. Maybe you could expect
around 50+ fps with a 6800GT, which is certainly a marked improvement.
