In all honesty though, it's just going to be a setback for the future. Upgrading to DDR2, PCI-E isn't going to cost as much as you think. What are your current specs?
I have a two yr old computer with a agp slot what would be a decent vid card to drop in the for a reasonable price without having to basicaly buy a new computer instead. Just need something to use for some games. the cards I have seen are 80 to 170 bucks but I want some that will work good with flt sim or some other graphic demanding type games ok maybe fsx is not as bad as others out there but you know what I mean. I was told some of the cheaper vid cards are just that.
You're going to find that the selection and availability of agp cards is seeing a large decline simply seeing them carried instock as replacement cards for older systems. The one Radeon 3870 seen for $114.99 at the top on the first link is the gamer model out of all of them.
