Check this article first:

They don't recommend the 9000.  If I had an AGP card slot I'd probably 
get something brand new like a Radeon 9800 (does 2X and 4X) ... i.e. 
the newest and best AGP graphics available.  They make a 9xxx series 
for PCI now and it's simply worse than my original Radeon Mac Edition 
in my Blue and White...  The article above recommends the GeForce 3.
