Also, I'm going to upgrade a computer partially as a present to my family, partially to help me cope with waiting to build my compy. Its an HP with an AMD 4000+, it has an AGP slot and I was thining about getting something like this - are there better cost effective cards?

since its an HP will it make installing the card a pain?
