Advice needed.

I have been doing some reading on the specs of the available AIW Radeon cards out there because I have a ATI Radeon AIW 7500 and I like it, but it isn't exactly a gamer card as the card is clocked at 225Mhz. I do not need an 8x card as the 9600 and others are, as my board does not support it and I won't be upgrading for a few years. I have read reviews of the ATI Technologies All In Wonder Radeon 8500 Agp128MB (NOT "DV") . The specs and reviews seem to point to this card being a better gamer as it is clocked at 275Mhz. My question is this. I have located one that is used, with everything that came with it for $199 plus shipping. Is this way too high? Keep in mind I am (NOT) looking to get the latest 8x card(s). THX in advance of responces.

I would say so, AlwaysUP. NewEgg has the ATI AIW 9000 Pro for $149 + free shipping.

And the ATI AIW 9600 Pro for only $237 + free shipping.
