I'm assuming that your computer does not have a PCI express slot. That means you'll have to go AGP. Best choice under $200.

As far as the rest of your hardware goes you should be fine. 640 is an odd amount of ram, so check your computer. If it has a 512 and a 128 try to switch the 128 for a new 512 similar to the one already there. If you have two 256 and a 128 swap out the 128 for two new 256. 1024 is the minimum anyone should have nowadays.

If you have a broadband connection and you experience lag you might want to upgrade the processor a little.

If you do decide to upgrade ram and or processor I'd need to know what your motherboard supports to recommend anything.

Hope this helps.
