Graphics card upgrade

I'm looking to upgrade my current video card (Geforce 4 Mx 440 ) However, I don't have more than 150 Canadian (including shipping and taxes) to spend on it. I've found a Radeon 9600 Pro for $140 CAD and was wondering whether it would give me a good boost in performance for the money.

I don't game alot, but if I do it's often BF1942 and UT 2004.

Anyother cards that I should take a look at. Remember, I'm in Canada so American sites are off limits (the duties will kill the deal.)
