Worse.
Radeons go in generally this order from oldest to newest:
7xxx series -> 8xxx -> 9xxx ->X--- -> X1--- -> X2--- -> X3---

what kind of slot does your pc use, I'm sure you could find a way better card thats not too expensive.

Looks likes its AGP.

Anyway, this is the one I have. It was more expensive when I got it but now its only $50. It works pretty well. I haven't had any problems with it anyway.

as far as slots go, PCIe > AGP > PCI

unless you know what each slot in your pc is, just see what slot your card used, then buy based on slot. that way you only need to look at cards that will actually be able to connect to your motherboard
