I agree with Skip, that rig is definitely not crap, it's just not a modern gaming rig

yeah, boo to all the people who's quick easy response is "that's crap." It isn't really a modern rig, though. Because most modern games focus on GPU (especially 3DMark) that's where i'd focus, if you wanted to upgrade. That video card you're using, is it AGP 8x? Find out what your motherboard supports, and buy a new card. You could get a decent one for $50 easily. Just make sure you don't get one your motherboard can't take (PCI express, for example).
