I'm not sure if you're selecting the right set of cards there omv. From where would you buy the 9700 and how much do you plan to pay? It is the superior card there by far, but manufacture of that particular chipset ceased a long time ago. Also, it will be bottlenecked significantly by your 1Ghz system.

My "ultimate" suggestion is to be patient and wait for that possible upgrade in autumn. By then prices will have likely dropped and you can have a fully decked out mini-beast.
