I currently own a Dual 1.8 GHz G5 with a Nvidia 5200 64MB Graphics card. I am about to get Civilization 4, and apparently it is quite graphics intensive. I have very little clue when it comes to graphics cards and I was wondering if people had any suggestions on what might give me a 'good bang for my buck'.

I don't want to spend more than about $US200. I was searching around on ebay etc. and found this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ATI-RADEON-9800-PRO-MAC-SPECIAL-EDITION-256MB-10616_W0QQitemZ190004707231QQihZ009QQcategoryZ25449QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is this a good deal? Also is there also any suggestions on where to buy from. As I say I have no idea when it comes to video cards so any replies will be much appreciated.

Thanks very much
