The Radeon 9800 series are about the best value for money. The nvidias are faster ( 6800 and 7800s ) but also quite a bit more expensive too. I have a MDD with a flashed 9800XT - 256mb and while a hot running card , it is a good performer. If you go this route , remove the original fan that came on these 9800s and boost it up to something better. These cards burn out a lot as the original fans were quite poor and prone to failure leading to the videocards being fried.
