That's what I did. I found an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro on Craigslist for $25
and just flashed it myself. Saved myself $125 by not buying it on eBay
:)

I did the same with a Geforce 6200, but that card didn't get along with
my Sonnet upgrade processor for some odd reason. Works great in a DP500
running Leopard, though.
