I agree with RushJet1.... Guild Wars is a graphically intensive game, especially so if you have Factions. Finding AGP cards can be difficult these days. One place that I have found for AGP cards is ATI's Refurb AGP Cards w/ Warranty are great buys. Specifically the X800XL is about as good of a AGP card as you can get for only $119 is a steal. This could get ou by fairly well with Oblivion. However, there are others like the 9800SE for $59 that would get you by ok too. This might make more sense if you plan on computer upgrading in the next 1-2 years. If you dont think you'll upgrade for 2-4 years, I'd definitely recommend the X800XL.

You are looking at a card that is about $50 US. I really think that the other alternatives (9800SE or X800XL) will do you 3x or 10x (respectively) more for your money. You don't have to take the advice, but if you are going to buy Guild Wars, dont try to save $50 bucks because that difference will be the difference between you being able to enjoy the game. A great graphics card is rarely something you will regret buying later.... I suggest saving up a bit more and getting something (6600GT, 6800GT, X800XL, etc.) in the $100 range. It will be worth it.
