I wouldn't say it's unrealistic, but it's going to cost you more than a new processor to get there. You might upgrade the processor, but then you're going to only get a 4.4 as the memory and graphics max out... you upgrade that and you hit another bottleneck, etc etc.

I wouldn't put so much emphasis on the WEI, if you've got no problems running what you need to run, ignore it. You don't have the aero glass, and for an 'older' computer it looks like it runs better than most computers of that class.
