As ChinStrap mentioned; the bottleneck will be the p42.8 fsb 533. Doesn't matter if you clocked it to 4Ghz, it's still a 533FSB chip.
Why don't you invest that money in a new board and chip, then concentrate on a new video card. Don't put the buggy before the horse.
And btw, no need for all those exclamation points.

It's time to move on to pci-e. Your board is already maxed out especially with a 2.4 533. A 7950GT wouldn't help in cpu bound games and even in games that aren't cpu bound. It is very slow by todays standards.

AGP 7950GT is expensive. For the same cash you could almost get a 8800GTS, which is a lot better.
Wait until 9th, buy a X2 3200+ for like $70, a board for $40, 2 gigs of RAM for $100, and the 8800GTS.
You would have a KILLER system for a few years for $210 + 8800GTS price.

are you kidding... most ppl with g80s dont have probs... i havnt had a SINGLE problem with mine since the time i got it (when it launched back in november)
but IMO i would not go with such a low processor, you IMO would need at least a x2 3800 ocd to satisfy a 8800gts. THUS you should wait till april 22nd. intel and amd prices are going to drop. Pick up a Core 2 DUO e4300 for $113 and there are good boards out there for less than 50. add some ram and a 8600ultra (gts) or a 8800gts and you my friend will have one banging budget system.

Your link points to a PCIe card. XFX lists the 7800GS as it's top AGP card.
