Need Help...(Can You Run It?)

So I had a question after using Can You Run It. 

I have a

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4050e 2.11Ghz

NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

2.9GB of RAM out of 3GB

When I tested out one of my normal day use computer for Crysis for recomended this is what came out.

 

Now, for the CPU it says that my 2.11GHz Performance is at 6.08GHz.  What does that mean?

Does it mean that it has the speed of a 6.08GHz?  If that true, is this site really acurate.  I need help.

 

Next I dont have a graphics card with this computer.  All I have is a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 that is integrated with my motherboard.

When I go to the motherboard description it says that my video card memory is only 64 mb.  But Can You Run It says that I have 1.3GB of it.

Video Card 3D Acceleration

Video HW Transform & Lighting

Vertex Shader Ver. 3.0

Pixel Shader Ver. 3.0

 

I dont think my video card has that options. 

The reason why I'm asking is I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ coming in next week, so if my CPU is really that fast then there is no need.

I dont want to get my hopes up much, cause I know this cant be.

Can someone explain?

Thanks

    I also noticed that when I test my PC with lower requirement games that it doesnt say things like "rated as" 6.08Ghz

    I'm not sure where the processor number is coming from, but the video memory is coming up as a large number because the video processor is likely using system memory.  64mb is dedicated to video, but graphics processors can use system memory as well.  If you are going to play any recent games you really need a graphics upgrade

    I really dont have time to play games right now..but its ok.  I have a ATI Diamond Radeon 4870 x2..I use it on a different computer. 

    I might upgrade the motherboard and stuff next year when the AMD "Dragon" board comes out with AM3 socket and AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0Ghz..instead of the 940

    No that is an estimated performance index measurement from both cores running. The estimated is slightly higher because you have defaulted in bios an option that auto overclocks your CPU when it needs it. The small test concluded the estimated indexing performance. Your CPU is not operating at 6Ghz, if it was you would be the world record holder for an X2 without phase cooling, which is impossible.

    Your onboard video card is incapable of running crysis or any newer shader 3.0 game or for that matter older decent graphic games decently. It says 1.3GB memory because nvidias onboard video options all come with something called turbo cache which uses your own onboard memory for GPU resources, which is very slow using your own memory to do textures.

    I run a 4870x2 on crysis maxed all options including 8x AA on 1680x1050 in Vista 64 and I get mid 40's FPS.

    Who let you in the VIP section?
