instead of going in for a 5800 try 6600GT
and yes performance will increase due to a faster,better chipset
but will be less than the same cardworking on agp 8X

But i have heared that AGP 8X has negligible performance over AGP 4X. Means it is better to buy new series 8X AGP rather then by a new Mobo.
