Whatever you do don't buy the ati x1600!!! It's an awfull card, at least when compared to a 7600GS. Altough the x1600 will by far outperform your old 9250 you get more bang from buck from a 7600 GS.
Here's a quick list of midrange AGP video cards:
x1300<7300GT=x1600 pro<7600GS=x1650 pro<=x1650 pro platinum=x800Gto<7600GT=x850 xt<x850 xt platinum
My best advice would be to get a x850 xt for 120-140$ and flash the graphics' card bios to platinum settings.
Graphics upgrade- any suggestions

A little late with that advice .
Even so the X1600 has been performing great , no stutters good fps average around the 70's ( low 40's with loads of flak etc) , maximum everything in Open GL on Perfect settings.
No setup problems on install or conflicts with drivers.
