i seen a few 6800 Gt cards on ebay going for $60 shipped and up ( these are PC cards that need to be flashed to Mac)
the card i am looking at to put in my DA is a eVGA 6800 GT, still a very nice card
but i dont know if it will work in a AGP 2x slot or not. the 2x AGP limits what card you can put in it. but almost anything will be better than the stock Rage card in it now.
a few questions, do you boot into OS 9 at all, cause if you do the ATI Radeon 9200 is the last card ( that i am aware of) that will get acceleration in OS 9 ( mostly used for games and the GUI and a few other things). i am not sure what the latest Nvidia card will 100% work in OS 9
but if you don't boot into OS 9 at all then it broadens your video card selection a bit more. the 9800 might be a good bet. you just got to look and see on the Mac elite to see what card will work on your Mac.
Mac edition cards always fetch a premium price vs the PC counterpart
good luck hunting and have fun
