Buying a graphics card

Yeah, so the computer only has PCI slots and one AGP 1.5 slot. Are there any 64MB+ 3D graphics cards out there?
The OS is Windows 2000 Pro if you need that. If any other info is needed I'll try to reply quickly.

Well you'd probably want to go with AGP even if it's bus speed is slow.

here's one that would work even it is crippled by your AGP bus.

Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR X1550 256/64 AGP Radeon X1550 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Plus you wont be spending too much money on a card for an already hopelessly outdated computer.

So how do you know that it is compatible with AGP 1.5?

All AGP are compatible with each other. Their only variants are there speeds. eg. 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 4x, and 8x. If you buy an AGP 4x card it will just run slower on a 1.5x bus than on a 4x bus.
