Your video card is AGP 8x. you need to see if your Motherboard has an AGP slot for an 8x card. You didn't really say that. In fact you pretty much explained your memory (ram).
Check your motherboard's manufacturer website and see if it has an AGP. Usually the first slot is the AGP slot and it is further from the edge than the PCI slots.
Good luck

It appears that your PC is very much outdated using PC-133 SDRAM. I'm assuming you have either a P-II, P-III, or an early Athlon all slower than 1GHz.
You would have to have a CPU faster than 600MHz to have a chance here. That was the speed in which the first AGP 4x slots appeared, though they weren't common until 800MHz P-III's were out. An AGP 8x card will work in an AGP 4x slot, but will NOT work in AGP 1x/2x slots.
Now, even if you do happen to have an AGP 4x slot, you should realize that your CPU, RAM, and hard drive speeds are all very much out of date. You won't be able to use the video card anywhere near its full potential. Now's the time to upgrade starting from scratch. Even if you don't care for the top-of-the-line, you should be able to find a cheap Athlon XP CPU or P4 in the 2GHz+ range. This will also require a new motherboard and memory. But all together, you can do it for under $150 if you look in the right places. Try eBay.com and pricewatch.com, or pony up even more money and get a newer P4 or Athlon 64. Perhaps you might want to buy from Dell, HP, or Gateway.

This card is an AGP card, it will only work in a mobo with an AGP slot on it, If your mobo doesn't have an AGP slot, get a PCI card with the same specs. Put the PCI card in the topmost PCI slot.

If it has an AGP slot, the main superior ATI photos card you will get is the Radeon X1950XT. on the Nvidia component you ought to circulate as much as a Geforce 7950GT, they seem to be a pair of tie overall performance-clever. the two enjoying cards run approximately $250
