8800gt for $135 after MIR - Quiet too. (ASUS brand)

Radeon 3870 $130 after MIR but it is dual slot so most of the 150w of heat that the card produces is expelled directly out of your system. HIS brand.

Btw, I hope the radeon series catches the enthusiasts eyes for Xfire setups on their AMD/Intel chipset motherboards. It could be a real big win for AMD if it catches the popular imagination like the 8800gt did.

 

Will either of those play Crysis on high?

Oh, and I am going to get more ram (I only have 1 gig), and I have an AMD DX2 3800+ CPU. Is that too slow for today's high end games?

Thanks for helping. I usually spend months looking into all this stuff, but being you already have, and I trust your judgment, why bother :)

Oh, and thanks Soleron, but Crisys in high is what I am looking to play. (I also have a 2560x1600 monitor, so I want some older games to play well at high resolutions.)

EDIT: I run XP, and will be skipping Vista all together, if that matters in your assessment.
