Default 8600gt 512mb?

i found one of these on the net and wondered if it would be a decent addition to my pc. i am aiming to run shiv at a decent quality. AA and transparant water being a highlight for me.

this is the card

would it be worth getting this one (i run xp so direct x 10 is not usable anyway, so just get it for the technology) or should i go for one of theolder 7 series graphics cards (also i cant do sli as i only have one pcie x16)
what could you reccommend in the same kind of price range.

my current rig
p4 3.00 ghz hyper threading
1gig ram (soon to be 3 gig )
ati radion x600 256mb (hypermemory, not good?)
x-fi music sound card

edit: i also just found this one http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...?sap-950p5&P=1 better or worse, thanks
i think thats all thanks
