I bought a AGP NVIDIA 256 MB geforce 5500 AGP and i had best buy install it for me.
Now its time to upgrade and this time i want to install it myself b/c it cost $40 for Best Buy to do it.

You can do it youreself for free in a couple of minutes.

I plan on purchasing a SAPPHIRE 100148L Radeon X1600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card from New Egg for $125.

Now, is this the best AGP videocard out there for this price. I dont want to spend no more than $150 total (includes tax/ship) and i have so far seen this as the best deal.

Is this card good enough to run games like F.E.A.R, BF 2, Doom 3, COD 2 at high settings (not max but high).

My other specs are
AMD Anthlon 3000+
1 gig ram (2x512 mb pc 3200)
160 gb hdd

Looks like a good deal to me , and yes you can run those games with it. But i would recommend to get also some more ram to get the most out of that card and youre processor , an extra gb would do very nicely.

Also, is this card easy to install and wil it work on my pc? I have an emachines T3025 - so will it be compatible? My other card installed fine so i guess this will too b/c its agp.

Also, how do i install the card. I read that i need to uninstall my nvidia drivers, take out the card, put in the new card, install the new ati drivers and im good to go. Is that correct? Im a noob with computers so if the directions i stated are correct, is this easy to install and easy for me to understand?

Thanks and i appreciate all help.
Sorry for all the questions too
