i am loaning a friends 7800gtx, and this is giving me plenty of power. I have to return it to him, so i need to buy me a very cheap card to hold me over until budget DX10 cards are released. What should i get?

I was thinking-

6600
6600gt

what ati cards are in this price range?

i dont plan on playing many games on it, but if i had too, i would like to play them without a lot of pain from lag.

my system:
6600@3ghz
p5w-dh deluxe
2gb crucial ddr2-1000
250gb western digital sata drive

i think i can get away with using a crappy card, because the rest of my ststem will keep my graphic- intensive programs up to speed.
