Drivers - I am not sure how to remove the existing drivers for the old graphics card. I am assuming you would have to remove them before installing the new card to prevent any conflict.

The card - Is this a decent card for $80? I want to play some of the newer games as well as DII in 3D mode, which I never have.

When you install Catalyst, it installs to a directory like "C:\ATI\SUPPORT\wxp-w2k-catalyst-7-94-030917m-011434c"... Each version of Catalyst drivers you install will install to a new directory. Each has a setup.exe that will override the current installed drivers, so you can go from 4.9 to 4.2, and back if you need to (as I recently did to fix the SWKOTOR atioglxx.dll problem.) If you had old geForce drivers installed, no problem, XP will ignore them as they do not match any installed hardware. I would ignore them unless they are a problem.

ATI 9200 for $60 is too high if you live in the USA.

I know you said $100, but this card is pretty nice for $133 + S/H.

Or, this one for $65 + S/H.
