Yeah, the TI4200 actually beats out the Radeon 9600 Pro in many DirectX 8.1 heavy-tests. The 9600 Pro is basically ATI's TI4200 with DX 9 support. The TI4200 is still a very powerful card and won't see its demise until every game on the market is programmed heavily with DirectX 9 (HL2, Doom 3).

*EDIT*

Just to add on the topic, I wouldn't put anything less than GeForce FX 5900 non-Ultras in the gaming machines. A 2.4 C Core P4 and 2500+ Barton will do the trick for processing, and a generic 512 MB of PC2700 will do it for the RAM. With that combo, those PCs will run anything for the next couple of years for a decent price.
