Bosco, this is the card. I bought it as a Vanilla X850 Pro and updated the bios to X850XT PE to unlock it's full capabilities.
This link compares yours against it.

It's got just about twice as much grunt so it should boost your FPS with standard settings at 1024x768.
It needs additional power from a standard hard drive plug and it takes up two slot spaces.

Two things:
Firstly, how does dust gather on a fan, that's moving?
Secondly, OMG I HAVE THAT KEYBOARD I COULD BE 1337 LIKE BBLOKE!!!!

It doesn't spin all the time, eventually it stops. And you'd be amazed at places dust can build up.

Ditto. The one flaw ith my Antec is that it hoovers up dust better than my hoover. Every couple of months it needs a bit of TLC to keep it sweet. It's still less hassle than the Mrs.
