My current computer is a P4 3.2 Ghz ,1 GB DDR2 ram and X800XT video card.  I was thinking about upgrading to an X1950XT since they seem to be running pretty cheap, but I was a bit concerned about my processor.  With newer processors I was concerned I might be capped in some games with a pentium 4.  So if I upgraded to an X1950XT, would my processor start holding it back?

A newer video card and another gig of RAM will give the P4 some longevity . As long as the video card is PCI-E, if you were to upgrade to the Core Duo's later, you can still use the card..
