Fast enough for any card on the market. I doubt a new processor will do much for you.
furthermore, you should know that moving to PCI-X means moving to an Intel P4 with either DDR400 memory, or DDR2 memory, as well as a change in (at least) your Power supply... *and* a new videocard, of course. All in all, way more expensive than that 9800 pro.
I bet a new videocard is cheaper, and will allow you to stretch the life of your system a bit longer. That way, you can buy a new system in 1 or 2 years, and get a much better and a bit more stable return on investment.
