What is the rest of your specs? We can't help you if we don't know what are all of the other parts, including the PSU make and model. I personally wouldn't buy a new mobo with AGP on it, but there are options that can allow you to use your AGP card and then upgrade to PCI-e later. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Open Box: ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA LGA 775 VIA PT880 Ultra ATX Intel Motherboard

It's an open box, but not sure if there are any available new right now. Will need to check for that. The mobo there can handle DDR and DDR2 not at the same time though. This might be something you might want to consider.
What is your budget for this task?

I agree with lunyone. Buying AGP now for a primary rig would be a waste.
His suggested mobo would work for you, although VIA anything is on my personal "never buy" list (past performance issues).
If you can, grit your teeth until you're ready to build a new rig, then turn this one into a backup, a server, or pass it on, perhaps to a family member.

thanks for the reply;
I want the mobo of what lunyone mentioned
But the webpage says is not available in Hillsdale sighhh
I live near hillsdale.

Ps: is it good to go with new PSU i got 550wt PSU antec

my other specs;
AMD ATHLON 64 4200
1GB + 512 DDR 2 ram

No a 550w Antec should be fine! It's one of the better ones to have!
