After some advice, currently running an X800pro which has served me well since its release. I dont want to upgrade to pci-e so want to stick to AGP, I was think of a HD3850 or 3450 ATI card.
Running an AM2 3800+ dual core cpu (not exactly sure which) and 4gig ram.
One of the reasons i want to change is the x800pro shader model version and a lot of games dont work. Also running XP pro.
Obviously the 3450 is some what attractive because of the price but i would like to see some improvement in frame rates, just not sure what to expect.
 
Cheers for info on 3450 your right it is not very good :)

Budget is less than £100 and must be agp so that rules out 4000 series i think.
 
I was slowly coming to the same conclusion, think I just needed my arm twisting in the right direction.

Thanks Guys :D
 
got a 3850 AGP, took 10 mins to swap cards (including dropping pc on floor) then removed old software, installed new and jobs a good un.

I appreciate what people say about getting new mobo but I just couldn't bring myself to go through installing the OS again.
