To run Windows 7 , DX9 GPU is suffice.
if you don't play games etc. Windows really sucks on this. You need expensive hardware to
fantastic graphical user interfaces.

The oldest video card that I used with windows 7 is , Nvidia 6200.

Hi
Do not use Nvidia Gforce 5 FX series. They don't have win 7 drivers. According to your situation the lowest card which you can have is Geforce 6 series. Before you buy a VGA you need figure out your mother board compatibility. You need know whether your mother board supports on AGP or PCIE. I have used only Nvidia VGAs. But I think ATI (AMD Graphics) has also a nice set of low power VGAs.

ok here are some cards which are compatible with windows 7

Use this software to check you current configuration compatibility

I'm not that much of a hardware guy. But hope this will help you.


Thanks
