As for your actual question, no, the performance increase isn't very significant over your current card. If you are looking to get a DX10 card, the best card for the $ is the 640mb version of the 8800GTS.
Also, having a 15" monitor doesn't necessarily limit your resolution, unless it is pretty old and 1024x768 is its max resolution. I have a 16" monitor that can do 1600x1200, so I imagine yours could do at least 1280x960.

1600/1200 UXGA safe mode automatically warns you to change the resolution of your monitor. Appreciate the ultimate in viewing performance.
This is what I found at the Samsung site.

Display (projector) technology: TFT active matrix
Display (projector) diagonal size: 19 in
Max resolution: 1280 x 1024. This is what Cnet says, but on the Samsung site it says "Safe Mode

No it is not wide screen is 1900x1600 widescreen? It doesn't seem like that ratio is. I only ask because on the Samsung site it says it is capable of it and my NVidia control panel only offers the 1280/1024. 1280/1024 is standard. Right?
4/3 is standard ratio:
320x240, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1600x1200 are some standard size resolutions.
Widescreen is 16/9. (though some monitors use 16/10 I believe.)
1280x1024 is a 5/4 ratio... I'm not sure what that is... It's probably just that your monitor is more square than most. (As a 5/4 ratio would give more of a square picture than 4/3)
As for your 1600x1200, it seems that the monitor's "safe mode" is there to prevent you to go to 1600x1200. Perhaps it could damage your monitor...
