Need suggestion - upgrade from nForce2

Hi,

My Asus MoBo with nForce2 chipset was doing well so far. But when I
see the frame rate in Far Cry demo, I think I will need an upgrade
for the new ones such as HL2. Do you have any suggestion or can you
refer me to a performance chart where I can see the nForce2 (220) and
other AGP video cards so I can choose something for my budget? I think
that's the only bottleneck in Athlon XP 2200 / 512 MB 266 MHZ RAM /
nForce config.

Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion, but at this point I'm afraid I cannot
afford to upgrade the whole system. I just needed to know what is
nForce2, which finally I found out it is similar to the GeForce MX200,
so I can make my decision based on the benchmark comparison between
MX200 and others.
