So long as they are AGP they will be fine.Unless they need alot of power in which case you may need to upgrade the PSU.
Check places like Here to compare the graphics cards.
Download Everest from the downloads section for detailed information about your PC.
I assume you will need DDR Ram.

Whilst the link might look a bit daunting all you have to look at is which card has the highest FPS(frames per second)in various benchmarks.
184 pin DDR 400 Non ECC ram will be the best for you.
