First of all, I made a mistake, I thought you had a 2600(K), that's why I thought we could compare our results.
It seems you have an i7 920.
We'll need someone who has a 920 to compare with you.
And yes, what NV said, should you want an upgrade, go for an Ivy or Sandy Bridge.
Anyway, I clocked my CPU down to 3.8GHz and I got a solid 55~60FPS for the first part, up until the Command Bridge. I stopped playing there.
That's with EFB to Texture, not RAM. RAM was slightly slower, around 50~60FPS or so.
