the xfx version has heating issues.
The asus oc version has great vfm.
If you want agp version then go for 7300 it will cost around 1.5k......

I would always recommend you to purchase a new motherboard instead of a agp card as it would be more future proof....!

There is one ancient GFX for this ancient PC ... Geforce4 MX. ;-)

Anyway, I would also vote for a new mobo.

5k?
Get a XFX 630i(3.2k) and a 2GB RAM(1.8k).... for 5k...
The onboard gfx of the Mobo was better. And save money and get atleast HD4670 atleast inorder to ensure a better gaming...

865g board supports agp slot so go for ati 3850 agp version for 5.5k , it it the best possible solution , otherwise change your motherboard .

Hey i got the same config as yours ;-), i have been waiting for a DX10 based AGP card. Recently came to know ATI HD4670 & HD4650 comes in AGP with DX10.1 support. Which is great news :smile:, but its hard to get in chennai :-( I am trying....

My Config:
P4 2.8ghz HT
865GBF (bios uptodate)
DDR400 1GB RAM (two more free slots, planning to put 1+1gb)
250gb SATA
sony and liteon dvd writer
samsung P2350 LCD :grin:
500wts cooler master :cool:

Hey don't even think of buying a graphics card with PCI/AGP slot for tat mobo. Better get a new mobo and but a graphics card. Or if u can't afford both then go for a mobo which has better inbuild graphics. Many mobo from XFX, ASUS, Biostar hav gr8 inbuild graphics tat will let u play all recent games but in med settings.
