Is an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT actually worth it $67?

First thing I did was run CPU-Z, and it's telling me my interface is AGP v3.0—but then I check the manufacturer's site for this motherboard and it says PCI Express.
I've thrown a friend's PCI-E card in here before and it worked just fine—or at least, it "responded." So, if AGP v3.0 is somehow the same thing as PCI-E, then we have a problem. I've narrowed down a few cards that won't break the bank, so maybe someone can give me a pro or con list for these? Or better yet, just a solid recommendation.
PCI-E
AMD Athlon X2 4000+, ASUS M2V-MX SE, 2x1 GB RAM, 230V PSU
Resolution 1680 x 1050
Sapphire ATI HD4650 512MB DDR3
or
Club3D CGNX-G952DD GF9500GT 512MB GDDR3
or
BFG GeForce 9500 GT 1024 MB DDR2
or
MSI ATI HD4670 512MB DDR3
Thanks
