Default Help suggest a video card upgrade?

A friend of mine has a intel 82865g graphics controller for a video card...
What would be the best card upgrade without changing the mobo/cpu etc. I think it is agp, I am not positive on that though. I was thinking maybe a 6800gt or ultra or something close to that would be a decent upgrade?

I second the 3850. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102730 Here's a good price for one. If you want cheaper, look into the ATI HD2k series or the nVidia 7-series.
