First off, don't misunderestimate the 5500. Sure, it's a piece of outdated crap compared to midrange GPUs on the market today, but on my PC before I got my 6600 I was able to run everything with full settings at 800 X 600 at a decent framerate from 25-45.
Secondly, it's time to upgrade to PCI-Express, seriously. I am planning to get a new motherboard soon, and instead of wasting money on a X1300 I'm going for the latest DX10 card when it comes out.
