will a new card help?

If i was to upgrade my 9700 pro, would it even improve performance with a xp2200+ machine? Just curious if my out of date hardware would bottleneck a new video card, and if not, what would you guys recommend for my system?

I'd like to be able to run WoW @ 1920x1200 without the slow downs i've been experiencing. Is a CPU/mobo upgrade inevitable at this point?

well. I went from a fx5700 ultra to a 6800gs; with an xp2500+. big difference; but that was a while ago. I find myself limited on resolution more than eye candy. The only games I really play that I couldn't before are F.E.A.R and Oblivion.

It wouldn't hurt to upgrade your videocard a little, but you might be better off building a new system. What's your upgrade budget look like??
