nVidia vs. ATI

Hey guys. Since I'm getting a mtoherboard based on the X48 chipset, if
I wanted to use two graphics cards in parallel, I have to go with ATI.
This isn't ideal :(

Therefore for my new build, is their an ATI card with similar
performance to the nVidia 8800GT (as this seems to be about the right
price) that I could get now?

The benefit would be that as soon as this ATI card starts to fall
behind, I can stick a second identical card in and get better
performance.

Kind Regards,

Matt
