I'd say don't, since the 9 series, is coming out. I just don't know, exactly when.

Depends on what resolution you're playing at. If it's below 1600 x 1200, the 320mb will do fine.

so many mixed reviews on the 2900 ( more bad then good )....I would play it safe and go with the tried and true nvidia 8800 series...
