Warhammer Online AoR Video Card?

Question

I am planning on playing Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning when it comes out but the only system requirement I lack is a decent video card. I know I could just buy a new one but my problem is this: my motherboard only supports AGP!! From what I can tell AGP is on its death bed. So I wanted some opinions on whether I should buy a new motherboard (that supports PCI Express x16) and then buy a new videocard OR does anyone know of a good AGP videocard I could get that would support Warhammer and pretty much any new game that comes out?

Note: This usually wouldn' be a problem for me to fork out $200 for a new motherboard and videocard but I just spent around $1000 on a new HDTV so I'm trying to take it easy on the spending for a while. I would prefer just getting an AGP videocard that will last me a year or two and then upgrade my computer.

You need at least a 128 MB/ 128 bit card with pixel shader 2.0  You did not state what AGP card you have or your current computer specs so double check your stuff here http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/30851

If you have at lease a 2.5 ghz pentium 4 CPU and 2 gigs RAM, 8x on the AGP...  then you can easily squeeze another year of gaming from your current setup, while you save you pennies, with this card Radeon 3850...   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...     512MB 256 bit. Right now after rebate this card is $114.99  

Make sure your power supply is enough watts think it is 350-400 wt PS you need for that one. The card I posted comes with the power converter if you don't have that connection.

Don't spend more then 150.00 on upgrades. You might as well just build new after that.
