I am glad those are not American dollars....
I am no authority on comparing brands of video cards.
Any card you buy should at least meet the minimum specs, which is 128MB memory and support for Direct X 9.0 and Pixel Shader 2.0 or above. I know that having to get an AGP card may limit your choices somewhat.
The cards you listed are all at the low end of the performance range, so you can't expect to crank your graphics up high and be able to play smoothly.
You can check out the benchmark ratings here, and try to find one that has the highest benchmark rating.

I would try one of these-
eBay.ph: BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT OC 512MB PCI-Express x16 (item 260408842515 end time May 19, 2009 01:38:48 PHT)
Its cheaper and about 20x more powerful.

That one looks like it might be OK. I don't know what differences there are between the PCI-E version and the AGP version though...
Here is a review of that card:
