Hi AJDrob,

Yes, it's compatible. No, probably not a great upgrade. What kind of games do you play on your system?

Not a big gamer at all. Like to watch videos and play music. Risk 2 is my big game...LOL

So why do you want to replace the video card?

It should be compatible and I think you'll get better video playback.

@Osprey  My existing Nvidia 8300 card seems to have gone bad, so I am replacing it.  I have a couple of posts describing the symptoms.  I ordered the GT520 card today, so we will see. Fingers are crossed.
