Didn't see anything here (and I'm responding quite late...) but I was in the same boat (ATI 9800 PRO by ASUS with 256MB onboard RAM). Nice card and did everything I wanted except that the fans melted and it couldn't stay stable for more than 30 minutes of gaming (unless I wanted to put ice cubes on the heatsinks and I'm not sure it would have liked that very much...). In any case, I found a nice card at NewEgg that fit my needs just fine:

The last of the decent AGP cards out there... I figure that it'll give my old machine at least an extra year or two before I have to start from scratch.
