Upgrading Video Card on a 2004 Compaq Presario?

I have this old desktop computer that my family hasnt used for over a year , , It is a Compaq Presario SR1303WM.

Here are the product specs- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum…

. . . And the motherboard is an ASUS A7V8X-LA (original mobo)

It's OS is Windows Vista Home Premium (upgraded OS from XP about 3 years ago) and the processor and gaming processor score was 1.0 (the windows vista rating system). . . The main reason i want to fix it up is so i could use that aero program



My question is. . . if i upgrade the video card at a price range around $60, what benefits will i expect to see, if any (performance-wise, not gaming)?|||graphics card upgrade for that pc in the $60.00 range is about right any more would be a waste something like 8500gt would improve performance by unloading the processor and would not grossly outperform the rest of your system|||This will run Aero interface perfectly, not break the bank and run games from 06 and below fairly well...
