Can you buy a 1GB AGP graphics card at the moment? They seem to be scarce (in the USA) at the moment.
If you can get one, the only harm that I foresee is a slightly higher cost than a 512MB model. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number homegrown

This would probally be your best bet if any
Also it would help if you added another stick of ram
Is your max ram 2gb DDR if so I would look into getting a one more 1Gb stick as well it will only help things along | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

i dont think its worth it..
for around this price you can buy nice mid end pcie gpu.. and anyways pentium 4 is slow cpu.
its better to save for new platform..
or buy second hand cheap agp card. 512MB for that level of GPU is enough. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
