TBH I don't think it is that great om mine either :(

P4 2.8GHz with 256Mb 6800GT

Have you done all the usual tweaks? "cl_smooth 0" and edit the Source icon in the steam play games window to have "-console -heapsize 256000" Make the heapsize no more than half of your RAM.

Source is pap. I run all those games you mentioned smooth as can be on this comp, which is almost exactly the same as your specs (a little more cpu speed, a little less RAM). You can add Doom3 to the list too, which has pretty demanding graphics. I'm lucky if I can muster 30fps in Source.

mmm, I think source runs okay on my (slower-than-yours) system. Far-cry runs at a similar speed/quality I think.

Runs smooth but make sure you cl_smooth 0" as this helps so much.
