ATI 3650

ATI 2600 <----- good card for what your looking for " look at the pro version and ddr3 "

8600GT

7600gs <---- good card considering



this wont be the who's who of performance cards BUT you can still find some good value in these options all considering

I asume you mean a 6 (or 8) pin pci-express power connector.

First of all why? Most cards usually come with an adaptor that will change 2 4 pin molex connectors to a pci-express power connector. What kind of power supply do you have? If your power supply can't handle it maybe it's time to upgrade your power supply.

If your dead set on getting one without a 6/8 pin pci-express power connector the best card is probably a 512MB GDDR3 8600GT like this one:

A DDR3 512MB ATI 3650 would be a good choice too, here's an overclocked one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127331

------------------------------ Intel E6400 @3.0GHz 1.35vcore, Zalman CNPS9700, eVGA 8800GTS 640MB, Asus P5N32-E SLI, 4G (2x2G) Mushkin Redline DDR2 8000, Thermaltake Armor, Enermax Modu82+ 625W PSU, BenQ FP241W 24" LCD
