Does the motherboard support SLI?

You should get the Nvidia 640GTS. It is a god price, and works fine. You state that you have a 24 inch monitor. Is its resolution 1920x1200?.
If it is, the GTS is the minimum card you should get.

I am in the same boat as you, and have to buy a new graphic card.

I cant wait for the Nvidia 8900GTX (could be cancelled beacuse of the ATI fiasco), and Nvidia 8950GTX. Both these card are on the last Nvidia roadmap I have seen.

The 8950GTX for SRP of 600dollars seems to be a good value.
