Current Specs:
Dell Inspiron 530
Windows Vista 32 bit
4 Gig RAM DDR2
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.5 GHz

Invidia GeForce 8300 GS
128 MBytes DDR2
Driver dated 4-3-2010

Performance Test from Passmark Software gave me a over all rating of 814.6

Windows Performance Index is a 3.5 over all.
Processor 5.9
Memory 5.9
Graphics 3.5
Gaming graphics 4.4
Hard disk 5.8

Thanks for any suggestions.

Results with upgraded video card Sapphire Radeon HD5570:
Performance Test from Passmark Software gave me a over all rating of 1107.5

Might get better with some tweaking. Haven't installed latest drivers yet.
