It isn't that bad. With a good graphics card it might even beat your system.

still it doesn't seem reasonable to dump $400+ into a video card and then pair it up with a celeron, it would be a major bottleneck to a 7800gt

This is without dynamic lights enabled on the first and with them on the second.
Windows XP Professional
Pentium III 600 Mhz
128 MB RAM
nVidia GeForce 4 MX440 64 MB
Got ~24 fps, I use 800x600 resolution (windowed). This isnt a good test though, I have this computer tweaked for maximum speed with its specs.
Windows XP Professional
Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz
512 MB DDR RAM
Mobility Radeon 9700 128 MB
Got 58-64 FPS still using 800x600 windowed.

One could always change the motherboard as well.

And if he's doing that, the case may not be compatible, so change that too. Ummmm, what's left?

Guess why I don't upgrade such parts anymore. When I decide it's time for something new it is best to replace everything and sell the old one. Even for my last one which I had to dump due to a defective motherboard or CPU I still got €250 for the rest of it (HD, RAM, CD-ROM and graphics card.)

Agreed. That's my policy too.
