Depends how good your PSU is, you may need to replace that, and Compaq PSUs aren't always standard size so that could be a problem.

Look on the box at the top of the PC where the power plug goes in (on the inside) and there should be a big label with numerous voltage (V) and current (A) ratings on it. Something like this:
Either tell us what all those ratings are or provide a similar picture.

Right, ok, on that basis you can stick to a midrange GPU but not a full powered one. Perhaps something like an 8600GT? It won't play top end games very well, but it'll do better than the 6150SE.
