Just make sure you grab the newest drivers, and first uninstall the old ones, and whipe them from your hard drive before you install the new ones (search and delete any ati*.* file in the Windows Dir after you reboot after the uninstall, use Regcleaner to remove registry entries), and make sure you install the newest VIA drivers. Their AGP driver can help you tweek some extra performance out of any card.

CHeck out <A HREF="http://www.rage3d.com" target="_new">http://www.rage3d.com</A> for new drivers and files, as well as radeonator, which is a nice tweek program for Radeons.

Enjoy your system. It should handle everythign you can throw at it quite nicely without too much tweeking.
