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.
