I don't think it will fit as they are a totally different slot ones smaller and ones bigger if you get what i mean.
try www.guru3d.com for tutorials on how to overclock it, but if your not sure on how to do it then i advise that you not try it.

Forget Battlefield 2 on a card such as that, sorry!

DO NOT PUT AN AGP CARD IN A PCI SLOT. EVER.

Even if you had a AGP slot, BF2 would take your card outside and beat it to death.

Where do all these ancient graphics cards keep popping up from?

I thought everyone would have burn't them out by now trying to overclock them.......  :(

Brett I thought we went over this before? Anyway use ATi Tool or something of the like. Also look at the box, that will tell you what kind of card it is right away. However beware that the heat sink on that card, well its virtually nonexistant so dont go for too high of a clock. But BF2 will be pretty much out of the question for your system. Sorry dude.

Since you don't have an AGP slot, your upgrade options are limited.

If you want, you could buy a 5200 which is a dx9a card (the 9250 is a dx8.1 card). That will only offer a small improvement and really isn't worth the cost of the card.

To tell you the truth, there's probably no way to play BF2 on your computer unless you upgrade your motherboard to one that supports AGP or PCI-express and buy an accompanying vid card.
