Your motherboard supports 8X AGP. Here are some options:
Cheap= 7300GS AGP, 7300GT AGP
Better= 7600GS AGP
Faster and expensive cards may require a power supply upgrade and could just be bottlenecked by your current processor.

Im assuming you have an AGP slot for your video card.
www.newegg.com is an exceptional source for computer upgrading with very good prices.
I would recommend upgrading your system ram to atleast 1GB. That in itself will have a significant effect on your computer's performance.
Secondly, When deciding on a video card make sure that your power supply atleast meets or exceeds that of the graphic card requirements . That is very important.
A graphics card with atleast 256mb ddr 3 ram with put you current with any type of pc games , movies, photos or any graphic demanding applications. If you have the funds I would recommend a card with 512mb ddr3 ram which will keep you current for atleast a few years. Good luck with your upgrade. MORE RAM IS BETTER!
