Need some GPU advice

My Specs:

AMD Athlon64 3400+ 2.25GHz
2x 512MB DDR PC3200
ABIT KV8-MAX3 (Socket 754)
ATi Radeon x800 (AGP)
Thermaltake Purepower 500 P/N: W0100RU

I realize that my computer is old and outdated. I'm going to be playing Call of Duty 4, and upon recent download of the demo, I realized that the FPS that my x800 gets me is unacceptable. I've been looking at possibilities for upgrading my GPU, and I know that since I can only have an AGP card, and that my system specs aren't that great, whatever card I get isn't going to be amazing because of slower bandwidth and bottlenecking. Nevertheless, I've decided on one of these two cards:

GECUBE Radeon X1950PRO http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814241041

EVGA GeForce 7600GS http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130076

Someone also suggested a 7800 to me.
Anyways, Any advice could help. I seriously need a new card, so should I go for the x1950, to suck out whatever I have left of this PC, or should I go for the 7600GS, because of the bottlenecking and price of the x1950. Any other contributions would be helpful as well. ty.
