    radeon 9800 pro. used ones are on ebay for roughly 90-100 buy it now if you look around, and newegg.com has 9800 pro referbs for around 85 shipped also. for under 100 thats about as good as your gonna get and this card is pretty powerful. I just got a sapphire 9800 pro 128mb for 91 shipped off ebay.

    you have to hook a power connector moldex into it because the card draws alot of power.

    sounds like this can give me trouble because the motherboard is a micro, with an agp slot

    From what I've seen, the 9800pro shouldn't be a problem when used with a micro board.

    The Radeon 9800 isn't an overly large card or anything--as long as you have a free power connector, you should be able to connect it no problem.

    What motherboard do you have?

    The card should come with an adaptor, but you probably won't need it. My 9700 Pro and 9800 Pro both came with adaptors but I don't use either--I hook them directly into the power supply--the ps should have plenty of molex connectors.

    Same as Whiterabbit, all the cards I've bought that need a power connector come with a splitter if you don't have a spare molex coming off your PSU.
