folding@home gpu quesiton

I am looking to upgrade agp video card in my p4 3.2ghz system. It just has an agp slot. I was wondering if theres any video card that will work with the folding@home gpu client that I could buy?
 
I was highly diapointed when I bought my PCIe Radeon X1950 Pro card end last year. I soon found out that the new version of Folding does not support the x1000 series cards, only the x2000 (?) and higher. So unless you can find an AGP version of these cards, or even a PCI version, you are out of luck.

Check the folding web site.
 
HIS has some ATI Radeon 3850 video cards with AGP-interface. They would probably work if you fullfill the following criteria:

* 2xxx/3xxx ATI Video Card, or newer
* ATI Driver v8.1+, v8.3 or newer recommended
* AGP GPU aperture size in the BIOS must be set to 128 MB or larger
* Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, with updates recommended
* Windows operating system, XP or newer
* Processor with SSE2 support to feed the GPU

Check this link over at F@H!

Here are some candidates @ newegg!
 
Yep. There are AGP versions of these models that can run F@H:
2400, 2600, 3650, 3850
It's highly unlikely that there will ever be AGP variants of anything else going forward. (4000 series and beyond)
 
Thanks everyone for all the help. I'm really lost when it comes to video cards since the last one i bought (besides what came with my new computers) was a 32mb geforce2
