If it's to revive an older setup, then you may be looking at AGP 1.0 (1x/2x at 3.3V), which some modern cards will not support, or possibly even a PCI.

In case some smart alec suggests PCI Express, I'll mention that too, though putting a new PCI-E motherboard in with the lowest of the low graphics in PCI-E would be a very poor choice.
It is for a new build, I was looking to upgrade my Athlon 1800+ machine with a Sempron 3000+ on a ASUS K8N Deluxe NF3 motherboard which has 8x AGP.
