I have a SOYO P4VGM v1.0 motherboard with a 2.8ghz P4 and 1.25ghz of RAM and a 430w PS. I am running a BFG FX5200 PCI card right now and looking at a possible upgrade. My motherboard only has PCI and 1 2x/4x AGP slots. Not looking to spend a lot of money because I am planning on upgrading in a few years, just wanting get a few extra years out of my system and to keep playing games. Nothing hardcore, mostly Need For Speed and Call of Duty and such.
These are the two cards I am looking at right now.

Just by looking at the specs it seems as though the 9250 AGP card has similar numbers to my FX5200, but will the upgrade in interfaces make the AGP card any faster? And the X1300 looks to be much faster than my FX5200, but again is it faster than the 9250 even though it is using a "slower" interface? Is the AGP interface going to show a noticeable improvement over the slower PCI?
Thanks
