Yea with that system you should be fine and grab another gig of ram if you can. Also try overclocking your cpu. It would be a good upgrade

you should get a decent upgrade of +30% performance ... at least ... i like my upgrade ... ultimately and i run everything so far on 14x9 ... even FEAR's x-pack doesn't fall below 25FPS with *everything maxed* [except SS] and 2xAA/4xAF ... my CPU was recently upgraded to P4 3.4EE @ 3.74Ghz
be aware there is an x1950XT in AGP coming ...

1GB PC3200
2001FP monitor (so I like to run games at 1600x1200)
500 watt Antec Smartpower
Primarily I want to use it for Oblivion and Gothic 3.

i still spaz when i think of an agp x1950 due to my troubled experience with it (most of which was the 20 hours of research i did after i bought the card reading problems ppl had). all i will say is dont buy it from zipzoomfly due to their very short policy for rma. and keep away from the sapphire since they will charge you fees when you have the card die and use them to warranty rma it. and keep in mind that sapphire card needs a lot of power, runs hot, and CCC just plain sucks. when you buy it, run it through a 24hour torture test of oblivion or gothic 3 at max settings or something else that will kill the card from stress if its just too weak to last a long time so you can rma it immediately while its under warranty from the place you bought it from.
