I need to upgrade it for better performance on games. right now i have an nvidia geforce fx 5200. any upgrades for it?|||Boy, any new card you buy now will be a lot better than the FX 5200 chipset. Just have a look at the Graphics card hierarchy chart here:

You'll need an AGP card, since that's the graphics slot the HP Pavilion a296n has. This card is pretty much the best AGP card you can get:

You need to check the specs for your power supply though, 'cos your power supply may not meet the power requirements of this card:
[Open the case and read the label on the PSU. Note down the wattage and ' +12V ' rail amperage.]
System Requirements:
* AGP based PC is required with one 4X/8X AGP slot available on the motherboard.
* 1GB or greater system memory for better performance.
[[[[[[[[* 450Watt or greater power supply with 30Amps on 12 volt with 2x4 power connector recommended.]]]]]
* Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/certifiedPSU for a list of Certified products
* Installation software requires CD-ROM drive.
* DVD playback requires DVD driver
* Blu-ray/HD DVD playback requires Blu-ray/HD-DVD drive and playback software.
