Most gamers into OC'ing do both their cpu and gpu.
you can oc your card some , i used to have the same one, and used this handy app from here:

as far as a good boost for the price you might want to consider the ATI 7500 , or even the 8500 prices are dropped lately.
Nvidia cards are dropping in price also, the GF3 Ti200 is a good boost from what you have and isn't to expensive either.

i'm not sure how that mark compares, do a "search and compare"
at the ORB to see how your card and cpu matches against others with similar setups.
