Here is my current system (old I know):
P4 3.2 Preshott
2GB Corsair Dual channel DDR 3200
ATI X800 Pro 256 MB
Abit IC7-Max3 mobo
Enermax Liberty 500W PSU
1TB SATA total capacity across 6 drives
2 DVD burners
I would really love to play BF2 and Oblivion at higher frame rates. I am definitely a casual gamer, so spending $3K+ on a new system makes me a bit squeamish. I see that the prices on X1950 Pro 512 MB (AGP) cards are quite reasonable (around $180). Will my system even keep up with such a card?
If so, is the X1950 XT from GeCube a better card considering it only has 256 MB ? (see link below)

And is my PSU going to be able to handle the card with all the other crud I have in my system?
I'm sure you will tell me to upgrade -- and maybe that's what I need is a reality check!
Thank you.
