You shouldn't post the same question in two forums. Your current card is old & weak, so just about anything you upgrade to will be an improvement. Higher end AGP cards need a decent power supply so make sure your's is capable of handling the added load. Wattage isn't as important as amperage. Make sure your PSU has at least 16-18A on the +12v rail. Anyhow, have a look at this article:
