Also you might want to consider an R9700non-pro or R9500Pro or High end GF4. With these you can use <A HREF="http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/" target="_new">RIVATUNER</A> and make a SoftGL or SOFTQuadro out of them. Cheaper/Better that way IMO. Although you won't get the same support of retail ones.

That sounds like a good deal. The FireGL 8800 is based on the 8500 however so a softGL R9500 or R9700NP will do better, but also cost more than that $100.
The FireGL 8800 should do you for the time being. Just be sure it is not an AGP PRO slot card (I think the 8800s were primarily regular AGP), but check to be sure, because AGP PRO will not fit a normal AGP slot and will even damage your mobo, if you could fit it in, if it is not suported.
