Spec as per sig, am I bottlenecking the card in Crysis, Bioshock, C&C3? If so is quad core the logical option?

Incase sig gets removed:
AMD 4200+ (2.35GHz OC)
Crucial 2GB DDR
ATi Radeon 3870 512
Win XP 32bit
 
Hmm, I'm in a hot room and on a poor clocking board (nForce 4 SLI and cost £55) so much overclocking is out of the question. I'm just wondering whether a quad core is worth it.
 
Barely. Gets really hot as iit is a really crap overclocking chip and a **** poor mobo. I'll see if I can get it a tad cooler though.

Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated!
 
1680 x 1050, C&C3 runs fine, framerate on bioshock is ok is suppose, but IIRC at medium detail on Crysis I'm only getting 20FPS ish, should be better than that surely?
