Hi welcome to Sysopt..

A geforce2 ti would be way better than the ati.....and would work good on your system..you may want to get more ram.

grimfandango,Thanks.Found a good Ge Force card today for about 80.00,have checked a lot of places for the best deal.One more question,my monitor is old techmedia,about 3yrs old.Will it still work with a new card?:)

You monitor should be ok. it'll probably be recognized as a plug and play monitor anyways. :D

Your monitor will have upper limits for the resolution and refresh rate, however, there shouldn't be a problem finding a setting within the capability of your monitor. Note that your card will have a limit that cannot be exceeded (i.e. if you have the proper drivers, there will not even appear a setting above the capacity of video card). However, this is not alway true of the monitor, it may be possible to set a resolution / refresh rate that will actually damage the monitor.

BTW, I wouldn't necessarily give up on the Radeon. The "Made by ATI" cards are good quality / good performance and offer better 2D quality.

Sure it will work.I have an old LG monitor(3-4 years old).. I think you wont be able to go more than 1020x768 res.
Enjoy your new card..
