I'm guessing you mean that you have a GEForce 6500 rather than a Radeon 6500. That was a lower-end card back in 2005, so a $100 Radeon 4850 will blow it away in terms of performance.
Do me a favor and download CPU-Z. It's a nifty little freeware utility that gives you all sorts of information about your system. If you post info about your CPU, memory, video card, and so on, then that'll help me and others on these boards to decide what else you need to upgrade. It'll most likely be everything, but it might be worth it to see anyway.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
