The number 9600 is followed by the suffix SE denoting a scaled down card that lacks potential performance.
Had the suffix been XT, it would be the bottom of the range for good graphics. The ATI Radeon 9600XT was a little better than the GF4 TI4200 8x AGP.
I suggest trying to get a 9800pro for the best price as a replacement, or spend more on a modern card such as the nvidia 6600GT.
Does your mainboard support 8x AGP bus speed ?

Aviod Se cards all costs.
Do yourself a favor and get a 6600 gt. Best upgrade card for you.
Unbeatable performence for the price and it will really beat the living daylights out of any integrated solution.
