I'm also AGP. I did some research, & a card that can do what I want doesn't come AGP, its all PCIe. Also there are no motherboards I can find that have socket 754 & PCIe, so a graphics upgrade would mean new Motherboard & new CPU which I don't want to do. I can do what I have been doing with the onboard graphics, so I'll stick with that for a while. Might look at a replacement fan, however I expect the GPU is hosed.
