my motherboard just died and i had a AGP 256 megs 9600 ati video card

i just bought a new asus motherboard and it only has pci e port, what card should i buy that's better than my older one but that doesnt cost too much ????
whats the best for value card right now that i can get for the pci express slot?
 
oh and i want to be able to connect 2 monitors to it
(so must have dual dvi?)
 
x1300pro, 7300gs, something of that sort would do you well and are alittle better in performance than the 9600 was.

*edit* The 7300's have vga and dvi out, not dual dvi, i missed that part.
 
I think the x1800xt 512 is going to be a little over his price range, being a $250 card. I would also suggest the x850xt, thats a really good deal on a really good card. You would see a hell of a lot of performance increase for $100.

well I just bought x800gto^2 but the damn thing didnt contain the 6 pin pci e to 4 molex connector so i cant even connect it to the power supply..... i need to be that damn cord now......

I have an extra. I will ship it too you for $10 shipped (assuming your not in Canada).
 
He's talking similar in price to 9600, you guys are throwing out better cards but the budget from what im gathering isnt there? If the budgets more around $150, cant go wrong with either the x850xt or 7600gt. If your looking to stay under 100 though, try looking at the x1300pro or 7300gs, etc.
