I want to buy the sims 2 and it's expansions, but I need to upgrade to do it, so here's my computer specs as of right now.

Windows XP Professional
Intel PentiumIII processer 930 MHZ
memory 128 mb ram
Intel® 82815 graphics controller
total mem32.0 mb
Direct X version 9.0
Hard Disk Drive free space 235 mb
total size 9.40 gb

Now by going to the Sims 2 website and looking at the minium system requirements I know I need to upgrade my memory and graphics card so I was thinking about going with these.
Radeon x800 pro, x800xl, x800xt ,x850xt ,x850xtpe, and someone mentioned on another site a nvidia 6800 gt would be better than all the Radeon 800 and 850 series. Is that true and if so is it a AGP card?And the memory I am getting is two 256 mb chips so my computer can be maxed out to 512. I have a AGP slot so I can only use AGP cards, so any suggestions you have other than the cards here please make sure they are for AGP.

Please note that I have no idea what most computer lingo means so don't assume I do. With your answers please give in detail what you mean and examples would very much help to. Thanks.
