What PCI-Express Card Should I Get?

I'm looking to upgrade the my onboard Ati Radeon x200. It sucks. I have a spare PCI-X slot, and was wondering what card I should fill it with.

I'm not to mad on games, but I do like San Andreas (which doesn't run at the moment :mad: ) I'm also looking to get a dual screen setup with two 17 inch screens, my current secondary card can't even do that properly :(

Any suggestions? Keep in mind a bugdet of lets say 100 pounds!
 
The x800's are very nice budget cards! My friend has one and it plays games nicely! If you don't want to get an x800, I'd recommend an nVidia 7600

Yes the x800 cards are very nice, but dont support SM3. I used to have an x800GTO, but my 7600GS outperforms it slightly.

Yea, my friend just built an Athlon64 based machine with one in it. It runs almost all of his games on fairly high settings at mid resolution (1024x768). It's a very impressive card for the price point, he got it for $109 at newegg. I'm on low settings with my current rig, I'm lookin to upgrade soon, my 360 keeps me happy ATM.
 
What about X1800GTO, I've seen it's around $180 on Newegg, anything bad about that card?

7600GT would be a great option too and it's much cheaper.

You can compare some cards here.

It's a great card, it's just a little out of his price range.

Oh, my apologies, sorry. Then yes, that is a better card to get, definitely, if he can afford that, go for it.
