Old computer - AMD Athlon XP2600 CPU Old Graphic Card ATI X1300 will burn out soon. Question - Would CPU be able to drive one of the new APG cards? If so which one?
 
I'd go with this for your system

POWERCOLOR AG3650 $59.99

If you don't mind going on eBay then you may want to get an ATI X1900 or nvidia 7900 series AGP card. Of course those cards are a bit power hungry so make sure you have a decent PSU. Overclocking your CPU would certainly help to make things playable. If you have a Barton Athlon 2600+ (I think there was also a thorton, ie 256k cache disabled) then you should be able to overclock it a bit. If it's the Thoroughbred, not so much.
