Hi there and welcome to DriverHeaven!

For Pentium 4 the 9xxx series from nVidia is a bit over kill since the CPU cant feed data to the CPU fast enough.

What is your current card????

I think that the 7xxx series are good. Cards better than those might have issues with your CPU's speed to send data trough it.
