About what settings could I run skyrim on?

Athlon II x4 640 Quad core @ 3.0ghz

Radeon HD 6870 1GB GPU

8GB DDR3 1600 RAM

M3A770DE Motherboard

Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache

Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W Continuous Power

Windows 7 64 bit home edition

And are there any ways to boost my performance in the game once it comes out?

Well, what is your gaming resolution? But with what you have right now, I think you're probably getting over 40 FPS on high settings, 1080p, but it's just an educated guess based on the game's requirements. We also need to take into account how well coded the game is, but since it's also running on consoles at 720p, I believe you'll do fine.
