    I'm gonna guess that it's using AGP interface (I had one of those cards and it was AGP. I think the Gefore 5 series was the first to use PCI-e). So you'd proabaly be better saving up more and getting a motherboard with PCi-e, but if you don't want to any one of these cards should work

    if u have an PCI-E slot, try getting an eVGA Geforce 7600GS, it's $150 but I think it's cheaper at newegg.com

    its 70$ at newegg por something liek that, regardless the 7600GT which is much better is 109

    my suggestion is either an x1600pro or a 7600GS, check newegg

    .. a 6800XT = Bad
    .... x800GTO = Good

    x800GTO
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814102065


    u get more performance if u get ati.

    x800GTO which i own the same one i posted above runs 2142 and BF2 on maxx out settings with no lag once so ever best upgrade i ever did!
