I have an ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard with a 128mb geforce fx5700 graphics card which I want to replace with a better card. What are some of the best video cards out there that support my specs. preferably within the $100 - $150 range.

I like it when people give price ranges, makes it easier. I would recommend this one, looks very good and in your price range:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102606
They have a X1650 in your price range, but I personally prefer the one I suggested, a lot more memory bandwidth.

First off, do not purchase a PCI video card.
They barely give any performance boost and is not in production and hard to find.
Second, I believe your board can only handle an AGP card so go to www.newegg.com and look at what they have to offer.
Last, if you have the money, buy a motherboard that supports PCI-Express.
It is twice as fast as AGP 8x and the cards are very cheap.
I recently purchased a Sapphire 1600xt for about $115 and is awesome. For ~$200 you can get a very high end card.
Good Luck!

xxxplalmxxx is right. The X1650 Pro is the best AGP card in your price range. It's as fast as the X1600XT in this review: http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?id=1856&cid=3&pg=4
Now, the X850 Pro is fast also, but, it leaves a few things to be desired. For instance, it isn't DirectX 9.0C compatible, it's a 9.0B card. It also can't handle SM 3.0, it's a 2.0 card. It also can't do HDR. All of this means that the X1650 Pro is the best cheap AGP gaming card on the market.

you're in luck. I personally hate agp cards and the fact that they still sell them when they don't perform as well as their nerwer pci-e counterparts and they cost more too. But get this card.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102057
It fits your price range and is probably one of the best agp cards you can get, even diregarding your price range. It is recommended that you have at least a 300-350W power supply
especially if you have a fully loaded system. Get it you won't be sorry. BTW I'm an nVidia fan myself but I still know whats good.

AGP is and has just about been replaced with PCI!
Don't buy old technology.

Pricegrabber.com try it after you go to a nivida/ati site and find the best one for your Bus. I would go with apg 8x. But good
luck trying to find any that are new they are all moving to PCIe.
