Hello

Yes it should work ok in your system.
However you have another bottleneck--RAM
your onboard vid was/is shared ram from your system
ram (you have 256) 16mb's was for vid.
Your really gonna see a diff with just vid upgrade but
an even better one with ram increase. Even 512mb total
will increase things quite a bit. XP will run better as well as games.

G'Luck

Just curious why did you buy one at wal-mart and not newegg or zipzoomfly? I agree with SOcRatEs you need another 256 mb at least get it at newegg this time.
