    The 1600xt is kinda a joke, it is the bottom barrel of that line of cards. You have AGP right? Gonna be tough to find decent cards for around $200.00. Shader model 2 obviously is what olde cards have, and SM3 is what alot of newer cards have. SM3 is really not used alot yet, bascically it is for metallic and liquid shaders mostly. It will give a nice fade almost, and get a more natural look to certain things. The SM2 has a tough time conforming itself to certain objects, then it starts to put a strain on the card, SM3 should make playing certain games smoother.
