Default 1.6Ghz CPU = bottleneck for an FX5600?

I have an Athlon XP1900, 512Mb DDR, Abit KR7a (AGP 4x), GF3 Ti200
system.
Intrigued as to how much difference a 'current' graphics card would
make, I borrowed a 5600 non-ultra, put the latest drivers on and found
that I only got an increase of around 5fps in UT2003.
Changing the level of eye candy from within the game doesn't make a
great deal of difference to the frame rate, so I'm guessing that the
CPU is holding things back here....correct?

Cheers
