true, but, the last card is AGP X8 only & you need an AGP X4, some grfx cards & mobos support both

Sapphire Radeon HD3650 512Mb AGP Graphics card - Misco.co.uk

- this card is compatible with both AGP X4 & X8 mobos

- this card is compatible with AGP X8 mobos only & is not compatible with your mobo, as your mobo is only AGP X4 compatible

nice one Adjudicator i'm only nit picking, please check that i'm correct :;

Assuming you have at least a £100 budget here are some suggestions:
Sapphire Radeon HD3650 512Mb AGP Graphics card - Misco.co.uk

Sapphire Radeon X1650PRO 512MB DDR2 AGP Dual DVI Retail - 11091-04-20R - www.microdirect.co.uk

These are just suggestions and you should get advice from others in (and out) of the forum.

Yes, it is fine so long as you plan do do no gaming. :)
 
The 3850 would be a MAJOR overkill for his machine. I would only recommend the 3850 AGP if you've got a 939 dual core proc. Single cores won't pull the full potential out of that card (which is quite impressive for an AGP card.)
