Ancient/low performance graphics card

Hi,

Years since I've posted/opened my computer. I have a now ancient Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 and ATI Radeon X1900 graphics card. The fan on the graphics card now sounds like a tractor and I can't fix it so I need to get a new card. I'd like something ideally passively cooled and similar or better performance than I currently have. Needless to say I don't play games anymore :(

Can someone suggest a graphics card suitable? Ideally ATI as I'm too lazy to reinstall windows...:o

Thanks
Simon
 
Given your requirements just about anything will do - theres a few totally passive cards like the 610 for around £20-25. You won't have to reinstall windows to swap between AMD and nVidia and vice versa (usually) - if your really worried use a driver cleaner type program to remove the old drivers.
