Anyone able to provide some insight of what type of improvements would come of such an upgrade?

I mainly like to play WoW, Counterstrike, FEAR, and a few others.

Putting the AGP slot aside, do you think this would last me for 2-3 years processing wise?

What's a similar ATI card of the same caliber?

And one final question...Does the stock cooling usually suffice for now-a-days video cards, or is it a given that if you want your card to do what the box says, you need to install a new GPU cooler?

Sorry for all the questions, yet I'm kinda dumb founded when it comes to comparing cards.
