I've not heard much about the new ABIT boards, but the Gigabyte p35 boards are very nice.
Also to increase performance switch to XP, and overclock you card.

The X1950 is a good card, I had a card that was a little LESS powerful than that and it played Bioshock fine. It seems to me it's the cooling on your card and your CPU that's holding you back.

Then there is no reason Bioshock wouldn't play fine. Given you still have a weak CPU but it's not THAT bad. You're fine as far as playing recent games at decent settings goes.
EDIT: Have you tried RMAing the card?

Sorry, it means you return that card or get it exchanged by your manufacturer.

Is it a connect3D X1950 pro? For whatever reason most of those were faulty from the factory. Try and exchange it for a different brand if you can. All the other X1950 Pros were fine..

You could try, it certainly would be safe. Best of luck. I still suggesting returning it to Connect3D.

Your warranty to Connect3D will be void if you do, and I doubt it'll solve the problem, especially since a lot of card manufacturers don't even change the firmware from the original ATI specification.

I didn't know they void the warranty for that. In that case I would certainly not recommend it. No use screwing up more sh*t.
Save your self the hassle and exchange it out. If that doesn't work then try flashing the BIOS.

They won't if you leave the AC cooler on it. Put the stock one back and they may be a bit more forgiving.
