http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_atiradeonhd5450.jpgWell, this is nice: a Radeon HD 5000 (http://gizmodo.com/5442408/ati-mobility-radeon-hd-5000-the-first-directx-11-graphics-cards-for-notebooks-kill-crysis) series graphics card available on the cheap. It looks like you're not sacrificing much in performance, either: The $60 Radeon 5450 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/radeon5450/) has full DX11 graphics and Eyefinity multi-display (http://gizmodo.com/5356822/amds-eyefinity-graphics-card-drives-six-30+inch-monitors-at-once) support.
The $60 version comes with a 512MB memory configuration, and you lose a little speed compared to the 5800 and 5600 lines. But the 5450 is also optimized for HTPCs, with HDMI 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
DX11 graphics, for those who forgot, can be pretty brain-melting:
