I have the Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP running with a Pentium 4 @ 2.80. Its a great card and its only $93 I would highly recommend it. I did quite a bit of research on agp cards before buying, what's your budget? I might be able to recommend something more in your price range.

well, when you're upgrading a video card, the most important spec to know is your Power Supply. I'm going to guess that it's not exactly very powerful, 450 watts is the lowest I'd go for most video cards today (like Geforce 8/9 series, ATI 4800 series, excluding HD 4890). If it's below that, look into getting a new power supply (you can get an 850 watt corsair one for a little over $120)
