Nvidia gtx 9500 and windows 7 or intel 2000 graphics

[steve65yorkshire]

I have just purchased a new fairly cheap machine with an Intel Core i3-2100 Processor 3.1Ghz with 8GB Ram 1T hard drive. It has intel HD2000 graphics. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

My old machine had an Nvidia GTX 95000 1GB memory graphics card in it.

I am wondering whether to pop my old graphics card in this machine or whether there wouldn't be any benefit?

I mainly use office 2010 but stream live video too.

Also, if the old Nvidia card isn't going to help improve graphics performance can anyone suggest a cheap (under £60) alternative card that may do?

yes, your onboard video solution does not have it's only memory and so it takes some from your Ram (although you have enough to handle it ) so it would give you some extra usable memory, i would say that there were would be a noticable difference if you waned to game, but if you really are not going to game it will not make much of a difference.
