Best graphic card for old PC. (options included)
Hi, it's my first post here. Hope it's the correct section.
I have an old PC with dual boot (Win XP 32 bits/Windows 7 64 bits) using onboard video (only 8MB shared memory allowed). I want a graphic card to give it a little boost in common tasks as internet, Youtube, watch movies and maybe some old school gaming (PC games circa 2000-2005). Options (according my budget) would be:
Geforce GT9500
Geforce 210
Geforce GT710
The card need to be fully compatible with both XP/32 and W7/64. So, I'd like to know, among these options mentioned, what is my best bet. I know they're not top notch and I'm ok with it. And they're brand new (warranty, etc.), since I don't trust second hand GPUs.
Also, about the GT710, would it be too powerful for my mobo/CPU?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The PC:
mobo Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2
CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400
RAM: 4GB DDR2
OS: Win XP (x32)/Win 7 (x64)
PSU: Corsair V400
