How will the Radeon 8500LE run in this system?

I'm looking to get a new video card for this PC, and the ATi 8500LE 128MB looks to be a good value for the price.

System specs:

Pentium 3 733MHz
512MB RAM
Windows XP HE

Will the Radeon 8500LE give me smooth framerates in games like MoH:AA and 1942? Thanks.

It should, it's a nice card, and your CPU is a lot better in games than most of these guys will give it credit for.

If I got the Radeon 9000 Pro instead of the 8500LE, will I notice a difference in that particular system? Or will the system bottleneck the video card?

I think the 8500 is actually a more powerfull card than the 9000. And you can get LE's with the retail speed memory, then clock them just as high.
