the p4 is definately bottlenecking you.  how much ram do you have?  To be honest I'm amazed your getting the frame rate you are.  Based on what you have listed I would up the video card.  You don't have the money for it, but I would go with a new system.  Save up as you can at least move over the same video card, but you'll likely need a new mobo and processor to make anything that will play the game well.

you can get core 2 duo's for under $200.  Just make sure it's compatible with your mobo
