To add a GPU to a computer may require a powersupply upgrade. Also important, is what kind of graphics cards slot you have, AGP or PCI-E?

If you can support a PCI-E card:

4650 for windows XP, 5570 for vista or win7. A single core processor (even with HT) can't support much more graphics power than that, not to mention only 512mb of PC2700 memory.

If you have an AGP slot for graphics:

Then an AGP 4650 is your most powerful option.

If the system is AGP you should go with a 3650 if you have a weak Power Supply, or perhaps spend a little more on a 4650 if your PSU is decent enough. You're going to need more RAM though if you want to play any semi-recent games. If you have a PCi-E slot, then a Radeon 5570 would probably be the way to go, or save a few bucks and get a 4650. Anything more powerful is a waste simply because of your weak CPU.

Don't even bother with a card while you have only 512mb of ram.
