In my system. Specs are below. I just got FEAR and I really want to play it on max settings. I know the video card needs to get updated. Is everything else ok?
 
I'd try overclocking your CPU as well... Reviewers all over the internet manage to get quite high FSB's with that mainboard, so you could try it as well...

NeoSeeker: 280MHz
PCStats: 262MHz
The Tech Report: 260MHz
NinjaLane: 245MHz
Viperlair: 240MHz (They use a processor that's hard to overclock...)
HotHardware: 230MHz? (Man, their method sucks... Leaving the multiplier at 11x...)

If you do it the same way as NeoSeeker, with a divider because that RAM of you won't be hitting high..., you must be able to overclock your CPU to a FSB of 245MHz, hence a 3500+, or even more... I know it's a Winnie, but some of those chips also managed to hit 2.6GHz, so it should probably even work trying to get to 266MHz, then you'd have an Athlon 64 3800+...

Although overclocking doesn't gain you a lot on that 6600GT, go for it as well, some extra frames are always welcome... Use CoolBits to overclock it...

Good luck...

 
No, it's the video card. FEAR will run just fine with a gig of RAM and a high-end video card and a 3000+ CPU (though as mentioned, the winchester 3000+ is highly overclockable in general).
