Good decision! But look at the price, there are many places where an 8500 is as expensive as an 8600GT!
And be sure you uninstall the ATi drivers BEFORE installing the new card on your motherboard
as changes from ATi to NVidia or the other way often bring driver problems.

Before you buy that card, it might pay to make sure it is supported by your motherboard. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Ati 9200 would be an AGP card, wheras the 8500 is a PCI-eX. Better factor in the cost of a new motherboard and possibly ram as well.
