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 ?

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD

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.
