I didn't read the rest of these posts because i'm pretty buzzed, but go on newegg and match up a card with your board that has at least 256mb of memory and has at least 8 pixel pipelines, maybe upgrade your RAM to 2gb and you should be good to go..

I'm running a 1.8mhz amd 64 with 2gb of ram and a 1650 pro radeon and there isn't a game i've played that touches my resources :)

It's all about how well your OS is setup too, use XP pro, take off all the graphical interface bullshit (use windows classic theme) and tweak it to only run neccessary programs at start up..

that card is an overkill for your system.. if you're going to invest that much you might as well get a new board and go PCI-E, maybe even an SLI board so you can link up 2 video cards in the future

That is pretty old You need a faster processor. Maybe buy a used computer and a video card

I read that but every review of the ATI cards that were AGP said there were extreme driver problems.

I havent had the first bit of issues with it. I am using it on a Dell though so its not a true blue built rig, thats more than likely why i havent had issues.

NewEgg is very good about RMA's though so if you dont like it slap it in a box and ship the fucker back. :6 bout to sent back a digital picture frame and a few other things from Christmas.
