If you want a cheap graphics card that is faster than the x1950 then the ATI HD 4670 should be sufficient for around $70-80. If you are willing to spend a little more. You will have a larger selection.

I think the x1950 video cards were the last ATI Direct x9.0c cards for that generation. Nowadays, most videocards are Direct x10 and are backward compatible with Direct x9.0c games.

As I suggested in my first post, Tom's latest "best video card for the money" monthly wrapup is where you'll find your answer.
