I think the reviews regarding the ATI X1600 are under estimated! I bought
one from CompUSA when they had the $50.00 Instant Rebate, and I've been very
satisfied with it. I'm running UT2004, C.O.D., and Half Life 2, and
performance has been excellent!
If you're looking for a good game card that doesn't cost you an entire
paycheck, overheat your room, and destroy your power supply, then you should
consider it.

UT2004, Call of Duty, and Half Life 2 are "old" games now, and do not stress
cards from even two years ago. You can run them with an inexpensive X700 and
still enable all the visuals.
Try something like F.E.A.R. or Oblivion...
