You really need at least one 8800gts card probably two in sli to get decent framerates.

2 gig Crucial 800Mhz DDR2
WD 320 gig SATA 2

Thanks jam^^
One more question, do you think its possible to make my 8600gts's performance similar the 8800gts or is that too gredy?

That's much too greedy. :)
AMD Opteron 185 @ 3.0GHz
4.0GB of OCZ DDR400 RAM
8800GTS 640MB at 625/2000 core/mem, 1500 shader
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
X-Fi, Vista 64-bit, yada yada

best you can do to that 8600GTS is overclock it. Granted it's not going to make a world of diff but if you can squeeze out some extra fps then more is always better.

Too greedy...
Well,
Can you give me some links about overclocking the video card?Best Regards

Download RivaTuner and up the GPU clocks by 10-20 mhz at a time, or use the auto-detect feature to get your highest clocks.. and subtract it by 20-30 mhz for stability.
Make sure your GPU's temperature isn't too high as it is now. Overclocking is going to reduce the life span of the hardware.. and will reduce it even more if the hardware is getting too hot and/or overheating. Signs of overheating or too high of an overclock would be artifacting, crashing, stuttering, etc.

It reboots as soon as i start the game unreal tournament 04 but it doen't do that in any other game, is that bad? or is the game bad?

That's a bad sign if UT04 runs fine at stock speeds. In that case might want to lower the GPU clocks.
