What are your currents specifications? What kind of expansions slots do you have? AGP? PCI? PCIe?
This is about as cheap as you can get:
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 1012 Radeon HD 2400PRO 256MB(128MB on board) 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

You can dowload and run PC Wizard, and that will tell you what kind of expansion slots you have. Chances are if you go out and buy a random card, it's not gonna be the right kind of slot, or your Power Supply isn't going to handle the upgrade.
It's best to know what your getting into before you go out and buy anything..
