I don't believe you. Do you have the PCI-E version with 256MB of GDDR2 RAM? I know the AGP version wouldn't run the game without immense stuttering, especially at 1280x1024.

Omecle: What CPU do you have? You might not see a huge leap from a 9800Pro to a 7600GT. And an underpowered CPU might just bottleneck a newer GPU. Oh and I'm going to guess that you'll need DDR400 RAM. I would suggest to get them paired.
