what is your PSU?

best possible Graphics card for your system is the 3650 its the fastest AGP card out there

$77
after rebate $67

its only DDR2 but a lot better than your current one, look for around for used cards too that'll just give you an idea for the price of a new AGP card

this PSU costs the same as the Corsair 550w PSU

Considering the only outdated part about agp is the bus speed which is 8x , not really. The bus speed barely adds to overall speed as you upgrade. The only thing I would be worried about is the cpu and ram being used on the agp board , and whether it can keep up with the card.
