My company has an employee purchase program with Dell, so I decided to get my wife a machine so she wouldn't feel the need to use the one I'm about to build. Nothing special, but it was inexpensive and still more than she'll need.

Dell Inspiron 531
AMD Athlon 62x2 Dual Core 4400
Windows Vista Home Edition (not fun transferring stuff from XP by the way)
1GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 667 MHz
250 GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
DVD, etc.
NVIDIA Geforce 6150 SE Integrated Graphic GPU

Question is this:
I have an old ATI Radeon 9250 256MB 128-bit DDR PCI Card, and I'm not sure what do do with it. It's an old card, but is it a better choice than the on board graphics above?

If not, any recommendations for what to do with the old card?

Any dedicated video card would be better than integrated, but I don't think that PCI card will fit. The 530/531 require a PCI express card.

You can sell on Ebay.
