The 6150's designed for the casual user, and not really aimed towards the gaming end of things. A cardinal rule of videocards - anything with an LE suffix is a bad sign. It's basically at the bottom end of the GF6 series, around where an MX card would be in the old days. And like the MX cards used to be, you'll get quite a bit of the functionality, but little of the punch.
Like Vlado said, a 7600GT would be a very good choice for an upgrade, should give you a considerable boost all round. They should be starting to go nice and cheap now the 8 series are out. You've got a decent processor there, and one of those would bring out the best in your setup
wrong,
my brother was 6150 not integrated and my board have 6150 Integrated and him it was traveling a $ 100 all the games and I nulldc not. The problem is that the integrated video card are in no way is to use games as memory is shared and the waiting time for the video card memory and clock ect ect is much less powerful than a video card in slot in plugger pc or PCI Express and time I had a radeon 9250 in a Pentium 4 3GHz 1gig ram, and I could play all games at 100% full speed compared to my 6150 integrated video card on my dual core AMD Athlon 5000 4 gig ram
