Well, today I was browsing Newegg.com for new parts, and saw that the 7800GT went down in price, about $20 or so. I wondered why. So searching a bit more showed that a new 7800 series card is out. The 7800GS. It is basically a GT only clocked down in speed and has 8 pixelpipelines less, but it still uses the 7800 series GPU, so it's a fairly sweet video card, and cheaper, to the alternative cards such as the X850 cards or the 7800 series cards. Also, the main factor here, is that it's AGP, not PCI-Express liek the other 7800 series GPUs. So it even makes it a greater alternative to those who don't want to spend another $500 just to upgrade to a different platform. 
Here's the specifications.
