I found a video card at http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Customer-reviews-for-EVGA-e-GeForce-7600-GS-Video-Card-256P2N549DX/sem/rpsm/oid/152206/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do#tabs
will this work?

Your choice is a pretty decent card that has high performance vs price ratio.
The 7600GS consumes only about 27watts but I'm not so sure if your power supply still has enough juice to power it. You might have the same experience as that of the ATI card. Consider upgrading your power supply also. Get something like this w/ dual +12V rails:

Do not rely on minimum power supply recommendation. It will just run HOT at FULL LOAD. A higher rated power supply runs cooler and lasts longer.

Right click on my computer, then click on hardware, then click on device manager, click plus sign on computer, click on plus sign on video card and you should have the necesary information your looking for.
