AGP Video Card Advice

My video card is acting strange and I'm afraid it's on it's way out. (won't let me play ANY game) Can anyone recommend a good AGP card? I don't have the money to overhaul my system to upgrade to a PCIE MB right now, so I need to stick to AGP. I like to game, but don't have to have the top of the line, just something to get me through the next year or so.

Thanks
Shane

If you can find anymore 6800s they would be the best for AGP i think, if not this will pry do:

And if you on more of a budget this will do:

I have a BFG 7800GS, upgraded from an old FX5200, and i tripled my benchmarks in 3dMark01 and 03. I am waiting to RMA a memory module that went faulty, then i will test it on 3dMark05. The card runs WoW on max settings and runs Fear superbly. BTW, what are the other specs on your system? Check out the link for the card:

Unfortunately, i bought the card for $205 (before xmas), but in my opinion, it was worth it for a few years of functionality. Although the price is steep, the card is great. Be forewarned, however, this card is gigantic. If I want to add anymore ram, I have to take the card out because it blocks the locks on the ram slots. Try saying that 5x fast.
