So my computer is getting a little long in the tooth and I'd like it to last another year before I do a full upgrade. And I'm wondering what graphics card I should get. I'm guessing my processor will limit my choices significantly.
Here's the current rigs stats.

Power Supply: Antec TRUEPOWER II 550W Power Supply
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 2.2GHz
Motherboard: EVGA 133-K8-NF41 939 NVIDIA nForce4
Graphics Card: EVGA 256-P2-N518 GeForce 7800GT 256MB
RAM: 2 GB DDR 400
OS: Windows XP X64

So the question is what's the best graphics card I can get that won't be limited by that setup. And any other suggestions for getting a bit more time out of this comp (more ram maybe?). I'm really mostly playing Warhammer Online and Fallout 3 atm.

If you want a bit more life out of the system you could get an 8800GT or even a 4850. But i think you would be better off saving your money for a new build.
