Budget Graphics Card?

[grover]

I found out last night the onboard graphics on 785G mobos doesn't support VGA through the DVI-D adapter, which spoils my plan to run dual VGA monitors. I either need to get a new monitor or a 2nd graphics card... graphics card is way cheaper. This card is really just to hold me over until I can justify dropping $200 on a top of the line graphics card, but if I get one, I want it to be decent enough to run older games.

I'm figuring something in the $40-50 range should be just fine for what I need. Radeon 3850 looks good per Tom's benchmarks- $50 for a Palit 3850-256, but 70% as fast as a 4850. Any other recommendations on a good cheap graphics card?

For older games, the 3850 should do fine and be much more powerful than the on-board HD4200 (which from my experience is roughly equivalent to a 9800 Pro when overclocked a bit).

For video features, the 4xxx series card has slightly better support for hardware video acceleration, if that matters to you.
