Nvidia 5700 if you can find, but their not 128-bit. 5500 would be a good choice, but still sucks a lot.

mmm

might be worth it to upgrade your mobo to an AGP8X compatible one if you are serious about gaming. Finding a good gaming PCI card is almost impossible these days.

No, you need a motherboard that has an AGP slot in it for it to work with an AGP card.

Yes, simply replacing it will work. It's AGP 8X compatible right?

yup should work jsut fine. make sure your power supply is big enough for the 6800 though and the rest of your system. video card specs should tell you minimum size for a power supply.
