    that describes what you currently have but what do you want from your new card. What kind of games etc. Do you have a particular budget in mind? AGP cards could be anything between £20 to £200.

    ...my budget would be around £50 mark...as far as games are concerned difficult to explain....all i know is that these are given out from "giveawayoftheday"...some are 3d not Vpowerful....hope this is a bit clear.

    Powercolor Radeon X1650 256MB AGP DDR2 or Powercolor Radeon X1650 512MB AGP in ati again just over your buget

    The Connect3d ATI Radeon 9550 AGP 256MB is apparently quite a decent card for the £35 (or £25 if you use Google Checkout) it costs. It can be overclocked with ATITool, which should give you some extra performance in games.
    The true cost of something is what you give up to get it.

    I'm not completely sure but I thought the google checkout offer expired
