wait for directx10 graphics cards and get one of those ;) but it also depends on its use, one would think you want it for gaming right?

That 3200+ CPU is still good.
If i was in your situation i'd buy a 7600GT for now and keep your cash for when DX10 Gfx cards / Core2Duo is out.

All the more reason not to sink a lot of money into a current card.

I agree - Vista is vapourware at this point
