Not the x700XT! Never that, it is not any good, that 9800 is better than that thing! Also i think the x700's are PCI Express only, though I never have payed any attention to the low end X series(all below the X800). I would recommend the 9600 pro($50 - $150), 6600 GT($150 - $200), X800XL($250 - $350), then the X850 XT(about $400 - $500). If you could get one of the next level up cards for $50 or less I would get the better one.
