When looking for a new video card for an older system there are a few things you're going to want to check:

what graphics port does your motherboard have? (AGP, PCI, PCI-e)
what power supply do you have? will it provide sufficient power? does it have enough of the proper type of connections?
will the new video card fit in your old case? they make them big these days so you'll want to check, especially if you have a pre-built system like an HP or a Dell.
