Best for what? And how much do you want to spend? Dual-DVI cards start at about $150, then go up to probably over $1,000. Or you could buy 2 cards with DVI out probably starting at $75 each and going up to over $1,000 each. Of course, with two cards, you can only have one AGP card, so the other will have to be PCI. You could wait a few months for PCI-Express motherboards and video cards, and use 1 or 2 of them for even better performance than AGP.
Best for e-mail & browsing the web, editing photos & video, or anything else NOT involving 3D: Get a $150 dual-DVI card.
Best for the latest video games: I have no idea since I don't play video games.

I go for the $150 cards because I don't do 3D games, and the $150 cards are great for everything else, and are also often fine for the occasional 3D game. Hopefully some of the other people here can help you spend your $600. I'm currently partial to NVidia based cards, mostly because that's what I've had experience with, and they range from the inexpensive to the expensive.
