A budget would be helpfull, but an X1900XT or so sounds about right for that rig.

Hmm there seems to be a few different results when I type in x1900xt into newegg.

Those are the ones I'm closely looking at.....hmm

That first one is a 7900GTX, I would go with this x1900XT for $429.

HIS Hightech Radeon X850XT IceQ II Video Card - $170
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1800XT - $300
POWERCOLOR Radeon X1900XT - $429
eVGA Geforce 7900GTX 512 - $510
eVGA Geforce 7900GTX 512 (OCed Version) - $574


get whatever one your budget will reach to

wouldnt two 7600gt's work good in this case?

This set up would be good for higher resolutions, SLI seems to get way better results at 1600x1200, but if its just for 1024x768 or 1024x1280 then i recon the x1900xt or a 7900gtx would be the go.
