I'm running on a system that was built in 2003, its last upgrade was to go from 1gb memory to 2gb(max) last year. For day to day tasks it works like a champ for me. I don't game.
It really only gets bogged down during movies, be it DVD or flash or netflix. I spec'd out a new system that would get me quad-core 3.0 and radeon 6550 (the new AMD llano apu ) and hdmi, 4gb, yada yada. runs about $450 for full new system
could i breathe new life into my system with a $50 graphics card? i know lots of applicatoins can offload proccessing(especially video) to the GPU, including flash. Caveat: I don't have PCIe, only AGP and PCI.

would i get performance gains with that or do only the newer cards support acceleration?
