I was thinking of buying my dad a new video card for his computer for christmas, but before i go and do that i was wondering first if i could get some advice on whether or not it will even be worth it.

here are his current specs

400mhz pentium with 320 mb ram
8mb onboard video ram

He mostly plays solitaire, but occasionly he'll play The Sims, or Nascar, something along those lines.

If I bought him say the Asus Pro Pure v7100 (NVidia GeForce2 MX-400 chip, 32MB of SDRAM) or something in that price range, would the upgrade be significant? or will the rest of the system hold back the video improvments?

thanks a lot!
