Best advice, since you're planning on getting a new system anyway, is to
hold off and just get the new system. I'd suggest getting the new system
WITHOUT a video card (IF the NV15 is out by then) and getting an NV15 or a
Bitboys to stick in it. If the NV15 or the Bitboys isn't out by then go
with a GeForce 256 DDR (W/64mb Ram).

Do NOT take a standard GeForce. DDR is so much better it's amazing.

Luck!
