Which graphics card is better?

Right now I have a Nvidia 6800 which I found it's specs here,

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce6_techspecs.ht...

and I just ordered this card,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

I just assumed the 8400GS was better because it's core clock was 520mhz while I'm pretty sure my 6800 is only 320 and also I'm not 100% sure the card I ordered will even work, I know I have a PCI Express port but still I'm no genious so any help is much appreciated and also what kind of performance gain will I get while playing games?

I'm running a Dell 8400 Pentium 4 processor (3.4ghz) and soon to have 2GB of Crucial Memory.

    I hope you understand that both of these cards are considered "low-end" graphics cards. If you're simply surfing the internet either one will do the trick without really noticing a difference. Gaming, on the other hand, isn't recommended with these cards, nor the computer you listed.

    Which one is better? The 8400GS.
