Looking for a better AGP graphics card.

I have a Radeon X700 Pro AGP card in my computer for playing WoW. It does pretty good for the most part, but there are times and places in the game that still bog it down.

So I'm looking for an upgrade from it. Some benchmark tests I saw show the X800 Pro and X800 XT doing much better than the X700 Pro but they are a few years old now and I want to get my moneys worth out of an upgraded video card.

I've thought of upgrading the MB, CPU, and RAM also to use a PCI Express video card, but what I have does really well for me and is going to have its 5 year anniversary at the start of March from when I built it.

My computer specs are:

Abit NF7 Version 2.0 Motherboard
Barton 2500+ OC'd to 2.2 Ghz (3200+ speed, 11X200)
1 GB of PC3200 RAM
Antec 350 watt power supply

Samsung Syncmaster 204B LCD monitor.

Game - World of Warcraft Burning Crusade at 1600 X 1200 resolution, all video settings cranked up to max or near max.

    I haven't checked but I think that you can still get X1950pro cards in AGP. Though rumor is that the X3850 will be made in AGP also. It would be a fine card.
    You will probably want a bigger PSU also.

    Hey, take a look at Sledgehammer's video card thread. A ton of info on cards and where they fit performance wise.
