My son is using my old P-3. He mostly plays older games like Age of Empires, and stores his mp3s on it. Age of Mythology won't play, and the video card is an old nVidia 32MB AGP card. The card is 4x. The machine is using Win98.

I'd like to upgrade the video card for him and get him a flat panel monitor. I found these:

Newegg.com - CHAINTECH LA-FX20-H GeForce FX 5200 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Low Profile Video Card - Retail

Newegg.com - Acer AL1706Ab Black 17" 8ms LCD Monitor 270 cd/m2 500:1 - Retail

Any reason why these wouldn't work?
