there is no better card for the e1505 than the x1400. however, the x1400 is much powerful than even the recommended specs you listed.

[salsa88]

kinda a noob question but if a get the x1400 I read that with a the 2 core duo you can get a 3D mark 05 score of 1800? and can over clock it to 2000+ is this true? how good would that be for CS:S and GW?

what is your budget? there may be better alternatives for you. the best you can do is overclock your gpu.
