I would go for something a little better like a Radeon 9600 XT.Heres a cool chart to get an idea of what to expect from potential cards. Just make sure you get a Dx9 capable card, AGP can be 8x(AGP 3.0), as its backwards compatible with 4x(AGP2.0) Again, Pick A card, ANY card. Im a ATi Fanboy, so I my opinion is bias. Intelligent, but bias.
ATi 9600's are also known for being excellent overclockers as well. But thats a different thread.

Anyway, I was looking at this: (XFX nVIDIA GeForce FX5200 Video Card, 256MB DDR, PCI, DVI/TV Out, Model "PVT64KUA"). But I don't know if it will work in my system.service tag: 8LX6B11
You have a couple options:You own a 4400, so you can use either the PCI slot or AGP Slot. Your limited to 4x on the AGP, so midrange cards would best suit the price/performace ratio compared to your system.Basically, you can choose any PCI or AGP card that you want. Any card from that requires less than 350watts of power. So basically everything AGP 4x/8x and PCI.Answer these short questions:1. What games/apps do you run or plan to run in the future?(Doom3,Halflife2, Solitaire)2. Whats the MAXIMUM you would pay for a "new" video card?3. What are the completes system specs of your PC?
