Yes its going to play anything modern, of course hes going to need
the ram and cpu to back it up depending on the game.


That's not going to be a problem :)

I just got a Asus V9999 6800 Non Ultra AGP off eBay and am waiting delivery.
It has 12 pipelines and 5 vertex shaders but can sometimes be unlocked to
the full 16 / 6. Anyway even as a 12/5 card you can overclock it if you want
to get more performance. At stock/settings its still a decent enough card
for the latest games. You can get PCI-E versions on eBay for about £ 50 - £
60 and thats the 256mb version see here

Is faster then a Radeon 9800 Pro by some margin and more up to date see
tomshardware VGA charts for some benchmark results
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/graphics/charts.html you can see the
framerates of the 6800 are OK also the 6800 you tend to see NEW are the
cripplied 6800 LE version with only 8 pipelines enabled so you want to get a
6800 Non Ultra instead if possible
