Based on the selection at Newegg, I would highly recommend going with one of the Radeon HD 3650 or 4650 cards which only cost a little more than the one you're looking at. HD3650 is going to be 5x faster than GeForce 6200 and HD4650 probably 10x faster. I think your motherboard supports AGP 8x, and I'm not sure if there are any power supply considerations or other features (number of DVI heads, etc) but anyway that's my 2 cents. :) I am an Nvidia video card guy through and through, but in this case the AGP Nvidia cards on offer there are ancient and slow compared to their ATI counterparts.
