If you're not playing games and you don't need to drive a giant screen, 
your current card seems like plenty.  That said, if I was going to buy a 
new card and placed some value on bang/buck, I'd probably stick with 
something like the Nvidia 6800GT-based products.  They come in 256mb 
flavors and don't cost an arm and a leg.

Cheers,
