@KaranTh85: There is no point in wasting money over a PCI graphics card. I'm pretty sure that you wont be able to play most recent games at low settings..

KaranTh85: The proper thing to do would have been to post a link to the relevant e-VGA page and also give more info about the rest of your old computer.

Anyway, to give you an idea of what to expect: I know several people who are still happily gaming with an onboard GeForce4 MX with 32 or 64 MB allocated for display. They can play games like Warcraft, COD (not COD4) and the like at low settings with reasonable frame rates. The CPUs are AMD Athlon XPs in the 1800+ to 2400+ range (roughly equivalent to P4 2-2.8 GHz) with 256-512 MB RAM.

An FX5200 AGP is significantly faster than a GF4 MX, and 6200 is still faster. A PCI version will be slower, but should be quite useable.

I've already visited that evga page to see what models they offer, but it would have been better if you had given the link earlier.

By the rest of your computer, I mean the complete configuration, not just the mobo - at least the CPU, RAM, HDD. Come on, you're not a newbie here. We shouldn't have to drag it out of you bit by bit with a pair of pliers.

Knowing your config will help us to help you judge whether it's worth upgrading with one of those cards.

very low profile cards , dont expect much from them.

abt 5200 one , even ati xpress 200 chipset onboard produces better graphics.
