You gotta find another place to shop. 1st of all, if your board has an AGP slot, USE IT! 2nd, all the cards you mentioned suck.
How much are you willing to spend?

Does that mean you're unable to buy online or are you just in a hurry? Newegg has plenty of AGP cards. Just make sure to get a card that uses 128-bit memory. Here's a couple of cards in your price range:

That's too bad. There are other places besides Fry's & Walmart though. Try Radio Shack, OfficeMax, Office Depot, Bestbuy, Circuit City & you can check online before actually going to the store. Stay away from the FX5200. You may wanna look at this HD2400Pro at Circuit City...it's 64-bit, but it should be better than the other cards you mentioned:
