Question ATI RADEON 9500 Pro 128MB DVI VGA AGP

I install the game, and to my disappointment it looks disgusting. I'm looking to buy a new video card, and I've been shopping on eBay. I need to know if anyone has any comments or complaints about this video card when playing with this video card, and should I know anything about it. Also, I can find a bunch of the same cards for really cheap, I mean cheap. Is that a good sign? It is eBay after all, and the seller does have a good reputation.

ATI RADEON 9500 Pro 128MB DVI VGA AGP

* Fast 3D gaming performance
* Complete Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 support
* 128MB of DDR memory
* 8-pixel pipeline architecture
* 128-bit memory interface
* Video output support
* Featuring CATALYST™


Oh, and also, would I need to buy something else for this video card to work? Such as wires or software?

Thanks in advance.

you wont need software ect, since it comes with Dix9 and drivers, the only things to worry about are..

is your power suplly big enough to give it the juice it needs...
is your case going to get too hot and will you need some more fans...
have you got the nesicary slot (sounds daft, but i know of peps that buy befor looiking into their case...)

in which case....get a larger power suply (only if your machine has say a 200 power suply lol) grab a few fans ect...but other than that, you will be set with a card like that
