Well yes they will work... just be mindful of whether you have an AGP or PCI-E slot on your motherboard. Also GDDR3 and GDDR4 have no real difference in performance, it is the system and memory clocks as well as the amount of shaders which define how well it works.

Okay thankyou , another question what is better
ATI Radeon PCI-E MSI X2600 XT PCIE 512MB GDDR4 128BIT
or
nVidia GeForce PCI-E ASUS GF 8600GT SILENT PCIE 512MB 128BIT ???

I would go with the 8600GT. It does decently well with most of the games (max settings on 1280x1024 without AA) but dont expect it to perform any higher than that.

Yes it is impossible to use PCI-E if you have an AGP slot. Only solution is to get a new motherboard.

GDDR is the memory type. It is not any sort of input.

You have an AGP slot, you won't be able to use PCI-E Cards. It would be better to save up for a new PC.
