So I am looking to upgrade my video card. I think my system is fine but the card is pretty weak. I can play WoW but it barely plays Dawn of War 2 and it didn't play Unreal3 this weekend at all. I want a card that can play most of what is out there now and the next round of MMOs and RTS's.
Here is what I think I need:
1) 1gb of ram (I run dual monitors at 1900x1200)
2) Hdmi and DVI outputs - (1 of my monitors only has dvi and other only hdmi...or will it be fine to use a dvi-to-hdmi adapter on one if the card only has dual dvi outputs??)
3) Cost around $100 (less if possible)
4) Low power usage. (HP's tend to have weak powersupplies)
So far I found this card. It seems to fit the bill, but is it a good card? Is it a significant enough improvement over what I have now?

Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4ghz
4gb ram
