Can you recommend a video card?

I'm looking to spend around $200, maybe more if it's worth it. I've ordered the A7N8X DELUXE ASUS with a AMD|2600 /333 ATHLON. I'm pretty into gaming, I suppose the most system taxing game that I play is BF1942 right now. I was leaning toward the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro. Do I need, want more?

You should be able to get a 9700 non-Pro for about that price.

Looks like about 180 to me on pricegrabber. Add shipping and or tax and it is pretty close to 200. As missing something?

Yeah, if you can, get a 9700 non pro... They will run you more than 200, but not by much and get MUCH better performance than the 9500 pro because the memory bus is 256 bits wide as opposed to 128bit on the 9500 pro, if i remember correctly.
