First off.. any current video card will do HD resolutions. Even the cheapest and crappiest one out there.

The best card you can put in a G4 AGP (sawtooth) is a Radeon 9800 but it will really put a strain on the stock PSU. They suggest at least a 300 Watt PSU for the 9800 and your mac has a 237 Watt.

I recommend a Geforce 6200 like I have in the same tower. Uses less power than the 9800 and still supports all the OS X gui features like quartz extreme, core image, core video and core animation.

You can flash one yourself or buy one on ebay that is already flashed. The pre-flashed cards go for about 70-80.
