dell workstation 470

I have a dell precision workstation 470, and was wondering if i could turn this into a gaming rig to play left 4 dead 2 and modern warfare 2 when they come out.

Current specs
SINGLE 3.2ghz/2mb L2/800fsb xeon (will be adding another hopefully)
4 GB pc2-3200 reg ecc RAM
80 GB SATA HDD
PCI-E 16X & PCI-E 4X slots
128 mb ATI video PCI Express (comes next b4 pocessor)
has 6 DIMM slots, 16GB capable (might upgrade to 8 gigs after awhile just for fun)
 
I would be hesitant about putting much money into a system that old. But you could toss a video card in there and play some games with it. Maybe a used 8800 GT or HD 3850 or something wouldn't be too bottlenecked by the cpu.
