I think you meant P5P800. That is an AGP board. Check out the latest video card buying guide on this site (main page).

I would not spend very much money on an AGP card, it will have minimal return on investment. Others will say the same thing: your money is better spent on a new rig. It's more cost effective to get a new board (you could still keep the CPU you have if you stay on socket 775) and new RAM (4gb for $30)

I am the Other and I vote save your money to build a new system. AGP is dead but they still seem to keep it alive a little.

I think a good question is, what do you use your system for? Depending on this a new card might not even benefit you much.
