im an nvidia person.
But since you run it at a higher resolution and get a good fps, im assuming i'll get a better fps because im going at a lower resolutionr right?
Because right now im playing the game with everything on low at 640x480 with a geforce 6500...
You can max out cod5 waw with a 8800gts with like 100fps+, cod5 is a really non-graphically intensive game, its easy to run and very optimized so a budget card can go great on it especially at your resolution.
Okay zooloo as a serious answer and question , I dont think your machine is going to like any modern graphics card you put in it. and another question is how long have you had that machine and what else is in it?
P4 is going to limit framerates; the only comparision was that my Pentium D (twice your P4) and 8600GT could handle COD4 at 35-40 FPS, but I never tested on a more powerful GPU. I'd figure mid-30's FPS for your setup, possibly lower, but not higher.
You could put on a new GPU but you would not gain anything. and if your going to get a new processor you will probably have to get a lot of new components. >.<
Alright, how about this? I get the GPU and if it runs good to me then I will just keep it and not get all the other stuff. But if it runs bad like you all are telling me, i could just buy a new mobo and processecor?

That's what I would do, were I in your unenviable position.
