forget AGP....

u will have to buy a PCI-Express card....in simple words...look out for these..

8600GT....abt 5k (i have heard as low as 3.5k)
9600GT...abt 9K
8800GS...abt 10k

ok im not too sure abt the pricing. but these are the model numbers u should look out for. just like motherboards, these graphics cards are available from all manufacturers like.. Asus, XFX, MSI, Palit etc.
