I currently have a Creative 64mb GF3-TI500.
512mb ddr
AMD - 2400
Scores 8800 in Futuremark

It works fine in everything, but is just starting to struggle in games
with
the res set to 1024x768 - 32 bit
I bought a 256mb - 5600 Ultra and it scored 9000. It went straight back to
the shop.
Any other recommendations, or should I wait and get a 59**?

What about the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro? There was a recent article in Maximum
PC that touted a sort of performance problem with the latest nVidia cards
relative to ATI, purported by both John Carmack of id and Valve co., makers
of the upcoming Half Life 2.
