If you really want to jump all the way up, get a GeForce 6600 GT for around $200 or 6800 for around $220 (mine was a lucky good deal). (If it was me, I'd go for the 6800 for the extra $20, very much worth it)
The prices are nowhere near as close in the UK, and the 6800s are closer to the equivalent of $300. They're about $50 cheaper across the pond. Quite a bit more accounting for VAT. We're pretty much robbed over here, mainly by the government of course...

Basicly a stock Dell from a few years back with an upgraded vid card. Should have upgraded a bit higher. T3 runs..but I have to play at 640x480 will lots of goodies shut off. I doubt I ever get more than 20fps...and I bet an average of 15.

Either I've been doing something wrong, or you're just joking. I've got something fairly close to that, and at 1280x1024, it would be cruising along at a swift 10FPS.
No joke, although I suggest you take a look at driver versions. When Thief 3 was released I was playing at 1024x768, however later driver revisions from nVidia allowed me to get acceptable performance at 1280x1024. The current ones, 71.xx I think, are very good with Thief 3.

CPU: P4 2.8 HT
RAM: 2x256 Mb corsair (dual channel)
GPU: Radeon 9800 Pro (recently died, though)
SOUND: Audigy 2
Plays great @ 1280, max settings, bloom on, John P textures. Plays mostly OK @ 1600, same settings, but can get a bit slow in a few areas.
My R9800Pro died on me when I was trying to make one gigantic pillar out of four others in the editor. (the largest ones in TDS). I don't believe that the editor fried the card, but it was under suspicion for a while. Just a bad card I guess. If you want to get max performance out of TDS (and HL2), get a R9800 Pro/XT instead of the GF6600GT. If you prefer other games, get the 6600GT.
