In other news, I have purchased a Sapphire HD 3850 AGP for this machine. I found one at a reasonable price, so I snapped it up. It should arrive next week.

You have to experience this firsthand. 😀
First, you buy an AGP DX10 graphics card (I have a 2600PRO), and only then do you realize it's useless.
It's underperforming for "relatively new" games and poorly compatible with older ones.
For such builds, an X800-type graphics card (or at most an X19xx) is optimal.

I know this, as I had not dissimilar cards 20 years ago. All for the benchmarks!
