You wouldn't get maximum benefit from a high-end card because you'd be limited by your CPU. The FX5200 seems a good choice to me, or maybe the ATI 9200.

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply to my video card question. I've read on other boards that AGP-type cards can't be installed with Intel boards that have on-board graphics controllers. PCI is recommended...I'm sorry to sound ignorant (though, actually, I am). Where is the new card to be installed? Isn't my all-in one board what my monitor plugs into? I just want to make sure the card will work with this system before I spend the money. I'm a shut-in, and my computer is my connection to the world right now. I love playing Everquest, but the lag issues have gotten serious, so I know I need this new video card. Thank you for your help.

You can find you computer specs here:

There is no AGP slot, so a PCI video card is your only option. As Soxrok said, the monitor will connect to the new monitor connection on the back of this PCI video card.
Still confused? Just ask!

Hi! Thanks for all of the help. With your help, I've decided on the Radeon Diamond Stealth S80 9200. Works with PCI slots, and will be DirectX 9 supported. In the right price range for what I can spend atm also...I appreciate all the help, and hopefully installation won't be too much of a headache. I'm going to open my computer later to learn where the PCI slots are..Wish me luck!
