Well the Geforce 7800 or...ATI X800.

They might be PCI-E so make sure you get something that is AGP.

For the best bang for buck; I'd go for a Radeon 9800 Pro with either 128 or 256MB memory. You could even flash a 'PC' 9800 Pro to make it Mac compatible; and save a packet.

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro in my Power Mac G4 and it is great for 2D and 3D; a good solid card that doesn't require selling your limbs to purchase it!
