Replacement Graphics Card for Windows XP/Windows 10 Dual Boot System

I have a dual boot Windows XP/Windows 10 computer at home and bought this card to replace my graphics card To replace ATI Radeon X1650 which I put into service about 10 years ago. The fan stopped working many years ago, but this year even the extra fan didn't cool it enough to keep it from throwing overheat errors. So I decided to look for a "not too old and not too new" graphics card with drivers for Windows XP and drivers that at least worked on Windows 10. I chose this card and was not disappointed. . Installing the card on Windows 10 using the CD that came with it was easy and quick enough, as was installing the drivers on my Windows XP install. So far I've been able to run my Windows XP games (as they don't work on Windows 10) with no problems and the card works fine on Windows 10. I can now access websites that use WebGL. If you are looking for a card to bridge the gap between WinXP and Win10 on the same system, I can say that this card helped me.
