It is a waste of time to try to put a cadilac of a video card on an 800 MHz

a 8X AGP port then dont get an 8X video card.


Not true, 8X AGP makes VERY little difference.


You need a processor at least twice as fast.

A Sapphire Radeon 9000 is 3 times as fast as a GTS video card. It might be
a good replacement. I run one on an ASUS A7N8X motherboard with an XP2400+
and it runs great.


Hardly. a Radeon 9000 is only ~50% faster, not multiple times. It
would take a minimum of a Radeon 9700 Pro to be 3X as fast.
