Why don't you play it to find out. Everyone has their own opinion regarding playability so it would be best to have a little play first 
However, from past reviews, i think you should be fine with those settings.

I play with everything on max -> 4xAA / 8xAF (HQ AF / A-AA) at 1280x1024. I think 6xAA/16xAF would be a bit much, but at my every day settings it looks great and never slows down.
2GB of ram is still a must though - else u will get slow downs regardless of any graphics card setup.

erm, allow me to tell you that its not...
there isnt a game currently out that cant be played at max settings when used in 1280X1024 with the X1800XT 512.as for the ram, your quite right
but CPU can be a major bottleneck on this card, make sure youve got at least 2.4Ghz (effecient AMD
) or 3.4Ghz (sloppy Intel 
) under the hood,

you can, but you wont get a constant 60fps if thats what your aiming for.
well ive just finished fear 1day before i get my new graphics 
great game. love the end might have to do it again on extreme.. i had it on medium and hard this time arround. might just have to get quake 4 back out ... cant wait..
and with regards to fps... im playing on a 5900Xt right now i think anything is better than that

x1900xtx can play fear with all details at max possible, 12x10 res.
I was very suprised the lowest fps ive had is 50 so far!
As theres hardly any diff between x1800xt and that everything max, 12x10 with 4 or 6aa should be possible with constant good frames.
You NEED 2gb ram and a fast cpu though.

If you play the game all the way through @ 1280x1024 6xAA 16xAF your minimum FPS (especially at start) will be below 30 on an x1900.
I play @ 2xAA 4xAF @ 1680x1050 because I need 50fps+ or the lag effect gets on my nerves.
But FEAR is the only game that pushes the newer cards.
