I have an ATI Radeon 9000 PCI and looking for some more power, what's the best graphics card I can get with a PCI interface?

Hmm... I thought it was the 9200. Is that wrong or has the 9200 been discontinued, leaving only the 9000?
I have a 9200 in my dual 2.7 to run a third display and it does fine (for a third display, ya know...).

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

9200, correct. The 9000 is AGP.

The OP claims to have a 9000 PCI, and at least on the Wintel side, the 9000 is faster than the 9200.

The 9200 is basically just a 9000 that can handle AGP 8x. The difference between a PCI 9200 and a flashed PCI 9000 (the only way the OP would have a Mac compatible PCI 9000) would probably be negligle when you take into account the PCI bottleneck.
