Current System:

E6600
Asrock 775 Dual VSTA (doesn't support the 8800 series nvidia cards)
2 gig Supertalent pc5300 ddr2-667
enhance 5150gh 500W
BFG 6800GT
Dell 20.1" 2007WFP
Windows Vista

I don't game as often as I used to. However, I do plan on playing WoW and Lord of the Rings online. I'd like to play them at native resolution, 1680x1050. I'm willing to spend up to $250. I'd like the card to last for at least a year. How does the x1950xt sound?

I think that card ( 1950XT ) would be your best bet, and should easily last a year or so.

The x1950xt would easily be 2x as fast, seems like a good upgrade to me.
