Don't upgrade to the 9800Pro. DX2 still doesn't run well. I know because I had a 9800Pro overclocked to 460mhz for the core and 386mhz for the memory.
If you want to run DX2 smoothly, I recommend a 6800GT-class videocard.
Only when I upgraded to my 6800GT, did DX2 run smoothly with all in-game settings maxed out at 1280x1024.
The 6800GT's are still kind of expensive so perhaps you can buy a X800XL 256mb instead. It doesn't have Shader Model 3.0 support but at least it's cheaper.
