Question on old system upgrade

[clayton006]

Hello Everyone. Newer member here!
Just wanted to say I love the reviews of the site and the great community!

I have a question. I had to sell my rig that had 7800GTs in SLI, 3700+64 with 2GB DDR400, for some cash.

Right now I have a 2600+XP with 1GB ram and a FX5600 (yeah that's pretty lame. It's actually being used as my domain controller right now)

I just need something to play WoW occasionally (don't play it as much as I used to). I know my CPU is the big bottleneck in this whole equation, but what would be a good AGP video card to get me by until about mid-way this year. I have a Dell 2405 and I know I won't be running at my native 1920x1200 (and that is ok). I just need something to get me out of the 20FPS realm. I don't mind the view distance and other stuff to be turned down.

In other words, I'm just looking for something to get me out of 20FPS, I just haven't looked at AGP cards in a while after I made my switch to PCI-E.

Any help is appreciated.

X850PE

I went out to NewEgg and all they had was the X800 GTO. I've mostly been an Nvidia fan, but for this application either will work. How will the GTO stack up to the X850PE. Would another distributor have an X850PE?

there are lots of comperable cards but the radeon is the bast bet for the $$
other cards off the top of my head 7800gs/x800/6800gt(ultra)...etc.
