I managed to pick up the same card from ebay about 6 months ago, but I 
can't find it now.

However, I did manage to find 2 other sources:

PNY 8400GS PCI card:

PNY 8400GS 512MB PCI PCI 64 BIT 1000MHZ GDDR2 567MHZ GPU
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/41943/PNY-8400GS-512MB-PCI-PCI-64-Bit-1000MHz-GDDR2

My google-foo is strong today!  Took me ages to find one last time!
Robert.
