need some assisstance

[Sabotage23]

HI i my current specs of my computer are
Petium 4 2.8ghz
1 gig of ram
Radeon x1600 Pro AGP

I currently had a ati 9800 128mb pro card that i upgraded from, and my first choice of a card i got 2 days ago was the XFX 6800 XT 256 mb card, and it ddint make a difference from the ati 9800 pro i had with the backgrounds apps all closed. Then i got the X1600 pro AGP and i havent had a suttering problem in my games yet, with BF2142 on medium/high 2x-4x AA 1280x768 resu my FPS ranged around 25-35. and im woundering what a good card is to get that is around the price of $180-$200 range. Also i like to add that im Canadian and this is Canadian budget and also i dont want to Order online. current stores around me are. www.futureshop.ca www.bestbuy.ca and www.summitdirect.ca. Thanks. I would get the 7600 gs AGP card but no one seems to have them instock for AGP. and Tigerdirect i dont want to buy from again

Or i could just stick with my X1600 pro im perfectly fine with it, im just worried if i can play Hellsgate london and all those other great games medium or medium/high with a good fps

Acutally the X800XT is a lot faster than the X1600 (you would think the higher number is faster wouldn't you? but no.) I just got an X800XT AIW, and it performs pretty well. I wanted the X800XT platinum edition but they are sold out everywhere around here. I don't really need the AIW features (TV,etc) but at the price ($169 US) just buying it as a graphics card is worth it.
I'm also still using AGP and for the money this card is the best value. About the only thing faster is the 7800GS, but it's not so much faster that it's worth another $100.
