    Go this this website:
    www.systemrequirementslab.com and run the test for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade ( Even if you don't plan on getting the expansion pack it's good to check it because some updates might add better graphics or something. )

    I checked it and it says you need:

    64mb VRAM ( videoRAM )
    A videocard that supports 2.0 Pixel shader or better


    I checked your budget and this is one of the better AGP videocards I found within your budget: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130083

    I had this one and it's very good, it ran Oblivion on Medium-high, WoW on max, Battlefield 2 on high so it's good for what you plan on playing :)

    There may be betters so look around befor you get the one I linked :D

    that would be a very good card for you to get, i have a BFG 6800 GS OC and it is very, very good, in my opinion anyway :D

    please tell us the ratings on your power supply though because you need a fairly good one to power the geforce 6800

    Then it is wrong. You can disable pixel shaders in WoW completely from video settings.

    The game installation probably mandates it; although I'm not sure since I've never played the game myself :) .
