If you read the posts below it will give you some idea of the abnormalities of Revit, I use a Double NVDIA GeForce 8800 GT with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 4GB of ram, so far it runs fine. I don't think you can use any of that old AutoCAD stuff to advantage.

I don't have good news here.

I don't think a graphics card will help that system very much. Judging from the age of the current graphics card you have listed(GeForce4 Ti 4200, circa 2002), that processor and RAM would benifit the most from an update. Also since that graphics card is an AGP card, you may or may not have a PCI(much less a PCI-E) slot on your motherboard. That would seriously limit your choices. Meaning you shouldnt rush out and buy the 8800 GT(decent card) mentioned above, as it could function as a paperweight.

The upgrade path for a computer with those specs would be a new computer for me. Good news is, $400-500 will buy you a pretty solid Revit machine.
