Id say anything above the Radeon 9550 or nVidia 5500 would be overkill for that system. A 256mb version will help alot if you do any gaming, especially since you only have 256mb system memory. You can get them for under $100.

thanks, do u think it would worth it to upgrade the ram to 2 256mb ram or will it be a wast and i would need DDR Ram right for pc100 or pc133 with 184-pin. could i get ram 4 under 55 bucks? thanks 4 ur help again.

my bad i mean DIMM ram

Windows runs really good with 512mb RAM. A 256mb video card will run newer games better. I order all my computer parts from Newegg.com. They have 256mb of PC133 for about $35. By the way, you have 168 pin RAM. DDR is 184 pin.
