Simply decide on the card you want (Make sure it is AGPx8) and shut down your computer. Disconnect power and any cable that is in the way.
Open the side, and remove the original video card. Install the new one, close the computer, the reconnect everything.
Put the driver disk in that came with the new video card and it should find the drivers on the CD when it discover new hardware.

YES, it will definitely work but do take note that 512Mb is not always fully utilized in games. Better spend you money on the fastest card w/ 256mb ddr3 that you can afford.
