Ouch. Your choices here are really bad cards, but the best you can get is a GeForce 9500GT. I don't know about ATI though because I don't know ATI
EDIT: Why did I say really bad? Wrong wording.
The choices here are limited, but decent in gaming. You'll probably run games at lowest settings though.

Damnit. Well, I kind of assumed that, though. The computer I have is an office desktop from 2005/2006 :/

Do you have a PCI-E, or PCI? If you have a PCI, the highest you can go is Nvidia 8400.

The corrupted one is a GeForce 8400, and there's a barcode sticker on it and it says PCI-E. So, I guess I have PCI-E because that card worked.
I think I found a pretty good one that will work with my computer. What do you think?

GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCI for only $90.
Edit: Wait wait what? You have PCI-E? Oh, then you got plenty of options then.
Also that 9500GT you chose isn't very good.

Geforce 9800GT 512MB GDDR3 for only around $100.
If you're willing to fork an extra $30, you can get the 1GB one but honestly there's no difference.
