Is a New Graphics Card a Worthwhile Upgrade for an Older Computer?

I had been in the market for a new graphics card for several months when the PNY Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS AGP popped up for about $200 (CAD) on Tigerdirect, so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed it while it was cheap.
I first had concerns about the PNY brand, but considering they have a 3-year warranty, I figured it couldn't be too bad. But I started to wonder would my Athlon XP 2500+ and 512 MB of RAM hinder my new graphics card? Would it give me the huge performance gains I was looking for? Or would it just show that my system was in need of other new hardware?
