This is a computer mainly used to watch netflix and dvd's. The cpu is an intel pent. 4 2.8ghz. The motherboard is a foxconn 661mx plus, which supports ddr266/333/400x2. It has 1 agp 8x slot and 3 pci slots. fsb is 533/400mhz. It has 2gb of unbuffered ram installed. The old video card is a GEforce fx 5200. The Monitor is a 19" Viewsonic LCD. Is there a better card I can get and would it be worth it? Thanks alot, Mark

Yeah, if your current card is doing the job then there is no need for an upgrade.
AGP cards are outdated and overpriced. There are better ones but they will cost you a lot and the advantages if you aren't a gamer will be negligible.
