You've got the right idea, you certainly need either the
x800xt or 6800U to run these games at full res with
AA and anio, the 9800pro won't cut it.
You really can't lose with either, but definitely
don't settle for the lesser cards, the x800pro and 6800GT.
BTW, I've got a pretested 6800U for sale. IT is BY FAR
the card of choice for Doom 3 and future games.
