yes, by a considerable amount compared to your 6200

but you need to make sure your motherboard supports PCI-E first. a lot of 6200's are AGP.

okay, that's PCI-E. the X1600 will work in that PC.

before installing the new card, download and run driver cleaner pro
that way, it removes the Nvidia drivers and prevents conflicts with the ATI drivers once you install the new card.

You may want to look into upgrading your PSU, along with your video card.

Odds are you've only got a 250W PSU.
