I've just installed a GeForce 9800GT (512Mb) card and it really made a difference to my system - SH4 went from 5 to 8 FPS to over 40 and SH3 is like a different game. Just make sure that your PSU will cope with the increased load as I had to upgrade my PSU to 480W to get the card to run properly and, truth be told, I probably need over 500 if I want to run any more peripherals.
The 9800 series is a repackaged 8800 series, so either one should be good (8800s seem to be more difficult to get hold of as they are 'old' cards).
