A couple of years ago I built a new PC. Link here.
Motherboard: ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6400
RAM: 2Gb (2X1Gb) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce 7900GS 256MB PCIE DVI
Monitor: Dell 3007WFP
Red Alert 3 is about to come out and I was thinking about upgrading my video card. Something passive (because I like it quiet) and something dual link DVI (because the monitor is big).
Is it a smart move to upgrade the card? My gut sense is that the rest of the components haven't aged much so I'm assuming they'll support a modern card properly, but I might be wrong. Also, if I were to upgrade to a 9600GT, what kind of speed increase could I expect from the card? 50%? 100%?
Recommendations for cards welcome.
Thanks in advance.

and some of there good ones never make it.

I went from a 7900gs to a 9800gtx, so many of my games are now limited by my 17" monitor resolution now, I had et:qw running with max everything and forced 16x fsaa at over 120fps steadly but the tareing makes it impossible to play
