    and it depends on the rest of your system. why not buy a more powerful and cheapish PSU anyway?

    7600GT

    It's very efficient, and at least as fast as a 6800GT, which plays todays games fine.

    The question is far too open ended without that info to make an opinion.

    Amperage rating for 12V, 5V & 3.3V rails (12V is most important for today's gfx cards).

    Sounds like a microATX or smaller PSU to me... The sort of thing you get in Biostar Ideq's n Shuttles etc.
    AMD X2 @ 2.6Ghz, X1800XL @ 540/600

    It does not sound as if your current CPU will handle much of a video card upgrade. Keep in mind that you could possibly get a video card, put it into the system, and not be able to use it at all if your power supply cannot supply the proper amperage on the needed voltage rails. It is also a small possibility that a powerful graphics card can kill a 250w power supply which would render your entire system useless.

    These are extreme cases but, you need to consider all of this before spending your money.

    There are dedicated power supplies that can be added to a system to run a graphics card. You may want to consider that.

    Also, in addition to the specifications already requested, can you provide the rest of your system spex? Are you certain that your MOBO can accept a PCI-Express GPU?

    No, that's why he asked for AGP recommendations

    I still stand by the 7600gt
