First of all I don't play any games and i'm only running an old 1ghz amd processor.
Would this card be alright?

Here is the best you will find for that price range:

Whatever you do, do not get a 5200, do not get PCI, and do not get a card with a 64-bit memory interface. The one above is $48, and it has a 128-bit memory interface, AGP 8X, and it is a 9250. Oh and by the way, I think eVGA is over rated. They offer no benefits over other cards. Any brand should be fine except Rosewill.

eVGA is one of the most reliable

About the memory interfaces, a 128bit 250mhz will peform the sa me as a 64bit 500mhz, remeber that, bitrate is nto everything or we would not all have 6600GT's

I say go for that gigabyte card posted above or this eVGA because it supports dual monitors
