I wanna get a decent compatible graphics card for my ASUS P4C800 motherboard. I need it for still image rendering in 3ds Max, (not for animation) so no need for much memory, 512Mb is ideal.

I want something that i could find on Craigslist under $100. I just have no idea, which card is compatible with my mobo.

Give me some ideas, thanks for your time!

Your motherboard has an AGP slot. ATI for some odd reason still supports AGP so the best card you can get is an HD4650, they can be had brand new for less than $100.

here's one, but there are more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814103080

Depends on your power supply.
You might be able to find a HD2600 on Craigslist.

Use this chart as a reference. Keep into account the power requirements of the various cards.
