Agreed.
Radeon 9600XT is best bang for the buck right now... you can get it as low as $150.00 (I just bought 2 of them a month ago)

I upgraded to a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb just over a month ago (approx. 2 weeks before GeForce released their new cards). Got it for $228 (decided not to get the OEM in case I had any problems w/ it, which I haven't had any).
Runs UT2k4 and BF: Vietnam with no lag or glitches/skipping.
Just checked pricewatch for how much they are now...9800 Pro 128mb is down to $170 (OEM), they were $203(OEM) when I got mine.
