all depends on the amount of money you're willing to spend... check out a geforce6600GT, or the radeon 9800 pro.

what's your budget?

very low

you'll have to wait for input from other members then, i'm not good at very low budget cards

i think i've read that a fx5200 runs it quite well... not sure though. maybe a radeon9700? if you can still find that.

this may sound stupid but how hard are they to install?

basicly it's just pull one out, and put other one in. look for a possible little lock at the end of the agp slot (which clicks into the card), make sure you don't accidentally damage that.

here are some pics/tutorial:
