(socket 478) which makes the most powerful card available for this type the Nvidia GeForce 7600GT, which has a cost around 90 dollars in the US.|||ATI HD3850 AGP is more powerful than any other Nvidia AGP CARD
HD3850 BEATS The 7600GT EASY - ATI HD3850 AGP 8x is your best bet.!
I wasn't even aware Nvidia made a 7600GT AGP 8x
the ATI HD3850 AGP 8x is new technology and would be ideal.
do a quik google to see for yourself...|||Person above is absolutely right. ATI 3850 is the best AGP card made. Nvidia has basically forgotten about AGP users. Here's what the card is:

Also the 3650:

and the 3450:

THe 3650 and 3850 are 512MB cards. The 3450 is 256MB. If you go with the 3850 bear in mind that its a hungry card and needs a 450watt PSU with 30amps on its +12V rail minimum.
If you look at these benchmarks comparing the cards it sure doesn't look like the 7600GT is the most powerful AGP card to me.(Aren't any benchmarks for the ATI 3450)
