Thanks to all - I'll scope out 430GT options this evening.

While I'm on the topic, is there anything I should know when changing
over, either from the Ubuntu or Myth perspective? Can I just take one
card out and put the other in, or is there anything else I should be
doing? I'm not using the proprietary drivers for the current ATI card.
