Presumably you want to play some games, else you wouldn't need a new video card. What are you trying to play? What's your monitor's highest resolution, and are you planning on upgrading your monitor? How much are you willing to spend?
Knowing none of these things, I'll suggest a Radeon 4850. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/l4jkpm">Newegg listings</a>. You can pick one up for about a hundred bucks, and it'll play the most graphically demanding games out there on high settings, at good framerates, at 1920 resolution. It's about the lowest end card that'll do all that, and gets my recommendation.
Obviously though, something much lower might suffice, depending on what you want to do with the card.

Ah. Well. I just wanted to be prepared for the future, a bit at least. I'm buying a Monitor: "BenQ 24" LCD G2420HD 1920 x 1080, 10000:1, 5ms, VGA/DVI/HDMI" Because I have a crt IBM G97. It's old but it works. And around $100 was the most I had considered spending.
I'm going to play Aion and my current card should be good enough for that, if I get tired of it I'll go back to WoW to wait for a new mmorpg that I think I could enjoy. And if Aion starts doing what WoW do and get higher and higher min requirements with every expansion I want to be prepared.
Thanks. That sounds like a good card in my price class.
