Graphics card in shuttle advice

[codename47]

I currently am selling off some of my large desktop for woodcrest and have a small form factor that I'm updating to tie me over. My current set up:

Shuttle G5V3 (nforce 3 250 chipset)
opteron 165 overclocked to 2.7Ghz
2GB of DDR PC3200
73GB raptor
X800pro

My main want is a better graphics card. I have a 7800GT PCI express in my main rig I'm getting rid of but this is obviously AGP so I didn't know if you all thought I'd get a big step up going to something better than a X800pro. I know there are some 7800GS AGP cards but didn't know if you all thought the price/performance ration between the X800pro and the 7000 series nvidia cards would be worth upgrading. I'll probably have this little SFF as my main rig for awhile (Christmas time probably). I do play GRAW, Counter strike, Splinter cell Chaos theory, and I'd like to play other games with descent settings. I haven't used my X800pro in a while so I'm not for sure how it will handle these games and I know HDR lighting is out of the question... what do you all think would be a good path forward or at least the best AGP option for price/performance. Also a card that would fit in my SFF would be nice too

Thanks.

It was announced today that nVidia is gonna release the 7600 GS and 7600 GT in the AGP flavor.
I would suggest a 7600 GT. The PCI Express 7600 GT is about the same price as your X800 Pro,
so the AGP version should be around that price as well.

I think you should sell the X800 Pro and then use the cash for a 7600 GT.
I am gonna look for a review that compares the 7600 series with the X800 series.
