It'll last 1.5-2 good years with any game on the market. Will it run it at 1600*1200 with 16x front side antialiasing with 8x anisotropic filtering? No. Will it run the game good and playable? Yes.

Your absolutely right, it was way more than a year ago when I bought it, man time flies. When I bought it though it was brand new, I paid almost 500$ for it. I meant to say that when I first bought it, I thought it was the most amazing thing and that it would last forever, but one year later the GeForce 4 came out, than before you know it ATI starts releasing all their cards, etc. And the price of the 3 drops couple hundred, even more. Its ridiculous. I have to upgrade constantly and I dont have the money to do so. I must admit though, My GeForce 3 still handles some games today. Examples of somewhat recent games that I can run on all settings high include: Splinter Cell 1,2- Unreal 2 - Mafia - Vice City- SoF2 -Ut2003. But then you got games like far cry which I have to reduce to lowest settings to barely get it to work. Man I wish I had money for a Alienware.
