Not sure if you need AGP or PCI-E, nevertheless

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (AGP)
X700 Pro (PCI-E)

A Google for "Dell Dimension 8200" shows it's a few years old, so it won't be PCI-E.

You may as well go for the 9800 pro then, under 90 notes.

You've got a Geforce 7800 GTX in a "hunk of junk" ... I'm impressed (and amused)

the '9800 pro all in wonder' also comes in under 90 quid, that is a brilliant price for a great multimedia card.

- the only thing I would worry about is the power supply being up to it ???
