As per title really I'm running the ati x1200 in jaunty and with the card now unsupported I'm looking to upgrade the card rather than roll back the system.
As I know chuff all about graphics cards I'd like something that doesn't throw a flickery screen after every refresh and something that isn't going to be an all singing and dancing michael flatley number that costs the universe.

I just upgraded to this:

MSI N94GT-MD512 GeForce 9400 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127412)

Fifty dollars U.S., free shipping right now, easy install, 185.18.14 drivers from nVidia's site worked a charm.

I recently upgraded to nvidia 512MB 9800GT .. it works fine in jaunty and has no problems driving both my 24" monitors each at 1920x1200 .. cost me around 100$ (70$ after mail in rebate)
