AFAIK it's pretty much all about the slot type - PCI, AGP, PCI-E... And since you have an AGP slot, that'll do just fine. Well, of course there's a little "fine-tuning". More powerful cards tend to require the power adapter Squilliam mentioned; you should try to check if you have one (try Google for a picture). Also, you should check you power supply if it's powerful enough (the watts are written on it, usually inside the case but clearly visible - and to be more precise, the 12V line ought to be the most important, though even watts should give a good general direction - oh, and the manufacturer).
To put it short:
- Buy a card using the correct slot.
- Make sure your PSU is powerful enough.
- Make sure you have a 6-pin adapter IF it's needed; it's not needed in every case.
I can't really think of anything else you'd need to know. Well, except for buying a good card of course :P
