Don't waste your money. The X1600 Pro will play current games just fine, but come this fall, you'll be finding yourself wanting to upgrade again. My suggestion: upgrade your system with a PCI-e board and get a 7600GT for around $230, or you could wait a little while for Vista to come out and get a DirectX 10 card. DX10 will be a huge improvement over 9, and it won't be backward compatible, so spending a ton of money on a new card now that won't run DX10 will just be a waste.
