The first thing you need to mention is what "slot type" your computer is i.e., AGP, PCI, PCI-E... You'll also need to know what chip-set your motherboard supports i.e., AMD, Nvidia...

Well, if you bought that computer on the time when that processor is recent. Then more likely than not it's using an AGP video card. So I suggest looking for an AGP video card. I suggest buying an GeForce 7600GS video card. The AGP version.
Anyway.... 384MB of RAM? Ugh? That's too low, I would also suggest upgrading that RAM as well.

There are not any compatibility conflicts so some distance because the quantity and kind (DDR1/2/3) of RAM between your computing device and your pictures card. pictures Card criteria: a million. Your motherboard must have a %. x16 slot. the present one is two.0 yet even the present pictures playing cards are backward compatible with a million.0 2. relying on which pictures card you decide on, you'll want sufficient skill furnish. you'll discover the requirement on the manufacturers' website (XFX, Zotac, MSI, etc.) 3. modern-day pictures playing cards are particularly lengthy, so make certain you've sufficient room on your chassis to accomodate those. You get get properly of entry to point shorter ones too. And those shorter ones gained't require extra skill furnish. :-) I wold propose you to improve your computing device RAM to 1GB (upload yet another 512MB). it would want to stability out the completed device.

Well it depends on loads of things for one the application you want to run, other then that your motherboard supports a PCI-e or an AGP card but looking at the config you have it must mostly support an AGP card if you have a low end program to be run go in for any N-vidia card above 128mb.

If you're into gaming, then nVidia's nForce 4SLI appears to be getting great reviews from PC magazines I've been reading.
I saw a demo of the card installed in a very nice Dell PC - and I must say, I'm no gamer, but I am impressed on the smoothness, speed and natural look of the graphics. It's pricey though it's between $750 to $1200!

check to see if your motherboard supports dual channel memory ... if it does pull that 128mb stick and get a matching 256 stick (will greatly increase performance)
aside that, check what slot u are using (likely an agp) if this is the case, you can get x1950 cards for agp slot, those are some serious video cards :)

go with the 6600GT made for AGP and PCI-E and if your using a Intel-P4 i am pretty sure you you would have one those slots
