Not asking for much, are we?

First install Omega drivers..
Installation of these drivers will also give you a tweaking program which you can access through Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced. There you will find a tab called "clock rate". It will be set at your BIOS default... in my case that is 274.5MHz.
You can raise these ( I keep the two settings, memory and core, synced) and run the test. Mine are currently at 310.5MHz. Keep going until the test crashes and then back down to your last good setting.
DO NOT just jump up to my setting.
Take it slow and see how your set up responds.
Run 3D Mark after every change. Seriously.
This will take a lot of time, but it is the only way.

In your BIOS you may have a AGP aperture setting. This is how much of your system memory you are willing to allocate to the video card. If possible make changes here and see if that helps.

You will get deathly sick of watching Neo in the lobby, but ultimately it will be time well spent.

Let us know how it goes.
