ive got the above card in an old dell desktop that very rarely gets used these days. what im trying to find out is how good is the graphics card, would i be able to use it to play games on it, ie. world of tanks and world golf tour? im going to wire it up to a 32inch sony tv and wire it directly to the router.
many thanks in advance

Your really going to need a new system. The good news is, you won't have to spend much to get a much better PC. I've seen Inspiron 570s with Athlon X4 CPUs going for around US$75-$100 on eBay. The integrated chipset on these systems (Radeon HD 3000) is about 50% faster than the X600, plus it has a PCIe slot you can drop an upgrade into. You may have to upgrade the PSU if you want to add a more potent GPU.

I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed by that card's performance. It's completely outclassed by modern integrated chipsets like the Intel HD 2500. Really not worth your time unless you're playing really old (last decade old) games on a really old system.
