I'd like to upgrade the video card in an older machine that I have. It's not impressive at all (although it was when new):
Athlon 900 mhz
ASUS K7v motherboard
384k PC 133 Ram
Windows ME
32 megabyte Geforce 2 MX
Soundblaster Live 5.1
40 gigabyte internal hard drive
52x CD drive
External USB 2.0 CDRW
Usb 2.0 network adapter
External USB 2.0 80 gigabyte hard drive
It's still quite capable for Internet and certain games, although it's by no means a hotrod.
If you were going to stick a different video card in it to perhaps help with video playback (I was going to throw in an internal DVD drive soon) and to get a bit more performance out of the games it can run capably, what would you suggest? I was thinking maybe a cheap 9600, SE or PRO.
