Not a big upgrade IMO. The OCuk x1950pro or the Asus 3650 would be a much better buy for the same price or a few quid more.

agp?

Yes has to be AGP.

Honestly I would go for something like the following:

3850 Pro AGP

or

3650 Pro AGP

what are you on?? ... thats a pci-e card , he needs a agp card.

also paying nearly £400 for a graphic card is crazy...

512mb card would last longer i would go with the 3650 over the 1950 pro at the 50 -60 price range

Should be cooler and more power efficient too. Pity about the DDR2 and 128bit bus though.
