Best you could probably get for that price

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nvidia-Gefor...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:2|39:1|240:1318

Or you could drop into MSY and grab it for $45

yeh, but that's PCI-E 16, and as far as i know my computer won't support that.
all the properites said that i'm using is a "pci bus" which is way shitter

Okidoki. Should read in more detail next time

This would be a very good option http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Inno3D-GeFor...3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:2|39:1|240:1318

Or if you can extended to around $70 http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=6200+pci&spos=1

I think the consensus around would be this to be the best. http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=9250+pci&spos=1

Alternatively, you could pose the question here. There are some guys there that will have a larger knowledge base on PCI cards.

edit: that requires a 250W power supply.
does that mean i need to buy a separate one or can i run it through the computer?
