you may be able to get enough information by goin to start, run,
then typing in dxdiag, then enter. MUCH less detailed than aida, but also much simpler to navigate.

Are you getting an AGP card ? PCI card ? Is your power supply an ATX ? If
so, it should be 350W. If you need an external or internal power supply for
your video card, you know you've paid too much for it :P

Doubt it would be that low, taking into acount cpu and all ur pc would have to be really slow like 500-800 mhz max.

If you don't already know, find out what type of card you have now. You can do this by either:
A) Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display: Settings Tab>Advanced button>Adapter Tab.
OR
B) Start>Settings>Control Panel>System: Hardware Tab>Device Manager button>Display Adapters
Tell us exactly what card is there now.

Yes. A 32MB GeForce 4 440 MX is a AGP 4X card. A GF4 Ti4600 will work in your PC. Although, I would suggest a slightly better card, such as the RADEON 9700 Pro. It had a bit of an edge over the Ti4600, and a better price.
