You're power supply should be able to handle any one of those cards. I highly doubt that you would need any more than 350w tops if you are planning to buy one of the cards you listed. The slot on your motherboard looks like an AGP 3.0 slot to me but it's possible it could be a 2.0 as well. If you know what the board's model code is, you could go to the manufacturer's site and get the specs. Those cards should work with either 3.0 or 2.0 anyways.

ok thanks for the help. now which one should i get the geforce 6200 or the Radeon X1600?

Definitely your system can handle any of those cards. Why not go a notch higher and buy a 7800GS AGP ,, or something like that. Yall what would be good with his Pentium 2.6 ,,, I think 7800GS would be nice and not bottleneck ,, hmm

This one has 512MB instead of 256MB.

But the diamond version is cool too Actually, diamond is my favorite GPU brand.
