Quick, the cheapest PCI card!

Stumbled upon a new monitor (well, 'new' Apple Multiscan 700) and i need another card to drive it, I have a ATI 9600XT with two monitors off it right now. I wanna see how fast you guys can find me a cheap pci card. Right now i'm looking at this

Before you get something, the Apple Multiscan has a normal vga connector, right? I know apple makes some stuff with varied connectors.

If you're just doing 2d stuff with this monitor, any crappy pci card will do. If it's just going to be text and spreadsheets and whatnot, that card is probably overkill.

I don't imagine you'd be doing any 3d with it since you'd use your 9600xt monitors for that.

Summary: you could even go cheaper than that, so that one will be great.

You will probably need an adaptor for that monitor. The Apple CRTs have a connector that is wider than regular VGA/15 pin.

yea i have the adapter already, and i have tested it on my current card and it works

I like their selling points:

"Key selling bullets:

Wow! That's the cheapest, crappiest thing I've ever seen! Great find! I think I'd go for the Radeon 7000 though....

I just sold a PCI Matrox Millenium II a few weeks ago for $15 shipped. If you posted a "WTB" in the for sale forum you'll probably get something similar.

THIS looks better IMO.
