Well, you have to ask yourself what your going to use it for: what apps are you going to be running that NEED a fast graphics card? You're not going to want to run games, that's what the 4200 is for. Photoshop, graphic/video editing? Maybe a tad more understandable... but I don't do enough of that to know the importance of a high end card. If you're deadset on getting a highend PCI card tho, the GeForce FX 5600 comes in PCI form, but I'ven only seen it at Best Buy...made by BFGTech, I believe. Newegg has some Radeon 9000's and 5200's that are dualhead for ~70-80... and I know there's a dualhead GF4 MX PCI card that's nice, cheap, and dualhead. Good luck, check some sites like ww.Newegg.com and tell us how you do.
