Probably not. What's your maximum budget?

I wouldn't bother with that particular upgrade. Try to find an x1600 pro agp ver. on craigslist or spend 25 bucks more and get one new for 75. You won't see a whole lot of improvement with that 6200. 9250's aren't great either. They're both near the very bottom of their series. I'll do a search for a good card for you, and try to keep it under 50 bucks and keep it new. I know what's it like to have wine taste on a beer budget. Check back soon bud =)

Okay well, thanks for letting me know. I don't know alot about PC parts, but I saw that it was only $50 and thought it may be a good idea. I can really only spend maybe just over $100. Any suggestions?
