Computer Upgrade Question

My current build is
Intel Q6600 Quad Core
2 gigs of Ram (I just ordered another gig, I'm only using 32)
650 watt power supply
Ati 4650 (I just ordered a ATI 5850)

The ATI 4650 plays this game on all high, but I found the visiontek ati 5850 for 250.00 dollars through Dell and couldn't pass up the deal. But my question is, has anybody used the 5850 for this game?? I know it's powerful enough, I'm just wondering. Thank you for any responses.

Edit: I did a search but didn't find much, please don't shoot me :)

The 5850 is beast. Essentially, its the best value card out there. It DESTROYS many other cards, and just owns. You really can't go wrong with a 5850 (although it is $$).

No Foo' I personally don't use it but I will bet you that it looks nice.

I may have something of interest for you also if you're after bencmarks for that card.

Google "Overclockers club" and the in the search box on the OC club site type '5850' and you will get a full review with benchmarks, settings and res of a few games.

The only update I could see fit, was getting a 64bit windows and wack in 6gb ram instead. It's cheap as hell, specially if you find a graphics update from highend to highend for 255$ cheap.
