the best you can go with AGP is a 7800. that should be very smooth.. but it also depends on what games your gonna play.. and also your budget

Probably a 7900GS.. That should be within your budget.
Or if you can find an X1950Pro for a good price, that would be better. | |

ATi released the X1950pro in 8x agp, albeit a bit pricey, it completely dominates any other 8x agp card out there.

i own an 8x AGP ATI x1950
its a great card, there is nothing they'll make to put in this slot thats better than it, she's a real beast. barely fits in my case and takes loads of power.
last upgrade for this machine, we'll be going PCI-E soon along with a new cpu and mobo, memory, etc. | |
