What do you do? Game?
Are there games that you can not run at the moment?
If it's not urgent I wouldn't bother and save some money up and buy a better card like a 9600GT or something of the like.

I just got the ASUS EAH3450/HTP/256M Radeon HD 3450 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121230) for 34.99 and I had the HIS 1650 and I would say it is a big improvement. I got mine for a HTPC and I liked that the Audio could be sent through the HDMI (with adapter) but for gaming I would say go Nvidia all the way save up and get a 8800GT or something close. How much are you looking to spend?

The nVidia 9800 series has just been released quite recently (GX2 & GTX), I am not sure about ATI, but I am sure they will release a new line up relatively soon to compete although I have no heard of anything in the works (officially).
