Hi Karen,

No problem. I looked at your specs and to be honest, they really aren't that bad. If you didn't want to spend a fortune, you could get a 64bit operating system and add another 4gb of RAM. That is probably the major bottle neck in the system. I noticed a big performance increase after adding another 4gb of RAM. Also, you could over clock your Q6600, if it hasn't already been done. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E8600, which is 3.3Ghz stock. I've over clocked it to 4.33Ghz, so its a fairly rapid machine, although a couple of years old now. The other thing I would recommend getting is a 10'000 RPM hardrive for the operating system to run on. The increase from 7200 RPM is noticeable in loading times. Your 8800 gtx is still a decent card too.
