I only know a bit about cards but as I've contemplated upgrading my 
3-year old ti4600 (still doing pretty good w/ ut04, d3, and hl2), one 
additional consideration may be power.  I have a 4x/8x agp slot in my 
Dell but my power supply is meager - I doubt I could adequately power 
some of the newer cards.  That might be a consideration for this guy 
regarding his upgrade from the 9600, perhaps?  Of course, that's the rub 
w/ all of the Dell stuff - proprietary psu's, mobo's and such.
