Well you should upgrade your whole core of the pc. That can cost $150 plus you can spend $50 on a gpu thats 2x faster then most agp cards.....

Your best bet would be ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/EVGA-E-GEFORCE-7800GS-256MB-AGP-256-A8-N506-AX-CRD10070-/160437124034?cmd=ViewItem&pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item255acc3bc2

What's the point of upgrading your AGP card? If you don't want to buy/build a new rig, then don't bother spending money on a new AGP card, and spend that money elsewhere. However, one day, you will need to buy/build a new rig....

But anyway since he probabely won't upgrade is P4 / P3 / Amd Duron / AMD Athelon XP : he better get those card it sure it would be nice if he ad 200$ so he gould get : CPU + mobo + RAM that Overun is current PC but oh well even these day we have to get people to love there Single core cpu :)

Why would you suggest EBay over a more preferred site, like Newegg?

I know you don't want to hear this, but you will be wasting your money supporting a dead interface. You would be better off saving up and buying new insides for your computer, aka motherboard, cpu, ram, gpu.

if it only to hold to chrimast : get an less expensive AGP video card : and spend the rest on a GOOD PCI-E CARD when it come time to it or endure the waiting by playing exclusively ur Ps3 Console according it still work on ur Sig :P

HD4670 @AGP is 2x less performing then @PCI-E HD4670 and it was proved roughly and tested to proof the system is Dead and ad a reason to die because it obsolete bandwith interface and basically 2x less then PCI-E 4670 mean it exactly same power as AGP @HD3850 or PCI-E 6600GS if i remember old benchmark
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/agp-radeon-overclocking,2395-5.html

so according this there basically very low difference from AGP 3850 to AGP 4670 they basically the same expect AGP 4670 as bunch of extra feature but that aren't aim at extra game performances and should consume less wattage usually but im still suprise it perform that good compare to some Home theater Personal PC Designed PCI-E such as HD4450
