Question Graphics Card for Windows XP Desktop

[TheOkComputerGuy98]

I have a Lenovo H-210 3000 series prebuilt desktop, running Windows XP.

I would like to know what would be a good, cheap graphics card for it.

Specs:
Intel Atom 230 Processer.
1 GB DDR2 RAM.
160 GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive.
Intel GMA950 Integrated Graphics.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Where are you located? What is your preferred site for purchase? What is your budget for your GPU purchase? Please include the make, model and age of the PSU as well.

Looking at the case;

you should have access to a full size GPU.

Moved thread from Windows XP section to Graphics Cards section.

Nothing really.

Any dedicated GPU would completely overpower that CPU and RAM.

What do you use this for?

The atom 230 cpu is so abysmally slow that it is unlikely that you would get any benefit from any graphics card upgrade.
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

Your 1gb ram is all but useless, and the max is 2gb.

The psu is only minimal 135w

I have never heard of a Lenovo 3000 H-210 that wasn't a Pentium Dual-Core, mostly they were E2200 or E2220. Are you sure you don't have an H-200?

The H-200 is mini-ITX with those specs and only a 32-bit, 33MHz PCI slot. Not PCIe, but PCI.

The H-210 can accept any PCIe graphics card that runs on Legacy BIOS (in PCIe v1.1 mode), but is limited to 3.25GB of usable memory due to a limitation with the G31 chipset.

I sincerely hope you are not connecting that to the internet.
