Why do you need the card?

AGP is outdated, it's likely going to be a waste of money.

Generally speaking throwing money at old hardware like that isn't a very good idea: you end up paying a lot of money for stuff you can't ever reuse and that is bottlenecked by other components.

The best AGP gaming card is the AGP variant of the 3850 but for that price (usually $125-$150 USD) you're better off just saving for a new setup and you'll be running into processor limitations. Any chipset using AGP is going to have a processor that runs Empire: Total War like a slideshow except on lowest settings.

I bought an AGP card for my crappy comp 2 years ago (was outdated then too) for 200$. It's amazing, can run diablo 2 at max settingsl XD

But in all seriousness, it's exactly as Carbon said; save the money since the cost for old parts can get you 100's times better of more modern stuff, and it will save you a lot in the end. If you absolutely need it though, this is the one I bought http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146430 and it runs some new games at low-medium settings, most recent example would be fear2. I'm not totally sure what shader is, but some on this page http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=1&&q=agp&cat=48 mention it, whether not it's the right one I'm not totally sure.
