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.

Not to mention the 6600GT overclocking and soft moding..OH the possiblities!
