Thanks guys, that's exactly what I needed to know.

Looks like I'll save my money and look towards the future.

I have an older system that I am looking to upgrade, as it will probably be the end of the year before I can purchase a new one.

Dell 4700
Processer: Pentium 4, 3 Ghz
Ram: 3 GB
Video Card: GeForce 8400 GS

I was wondering how good a video card I could use, before the processor or RAM become the limiting factor.

Also (depending on the answer to the first question), are there any relatively cheap video cards (~$50) that would significantly improve it's performance.

Thanks for any advice.
