That machine has plenty of life left in it (it better, because mine's similar :) )

Throw a new video card in it and you'll be set for a while.

id wait till the 64 bit stuff gets cheaper and standardized .. you have at least a year or 2 left with that . perhaps a video card upgrade ... and if you feel the need a 2400+ or 2500+ cpu ( 2.0 ghz)  i wouldnt spend the $$$ for anything bigger then a 2500+
