Sorry I wasn't clear. I was asking about video cards, not integrated graphics.
I have an old A64 3000+, it had a geforce 6800GT (RIP) and it ran windows 7 quite well. I'm looking for a replacement card so I can install windows 8.
Don't use Windows 8, use a real OS Windows 7
Windows 8 = Vista and ME, sure there are people trying to justify there purchase as in the past with Vista, but we all know it sucks and history will be the judge

Windows 8 + Classic shell = Windows 7 interface with a better task manager, native .iso support, and better data transfer information.
I love windows 7 but I love all the apps that comes along with 8. Netflix, Bing Weather, Newegg and Amazon, Daily show just to name a few.

With AMD you can use as old as HD2000 series using the "current" legacy drivers:
Note that this is a WDDM 1.1 driver, while Windows 8 uses WDDM 1.2, but WDDM is designed to be forward and backward compatible.

With DX9 AMD cards, You can use the Vista64 driver, last updated February 2010:
Note that this is a WDDM 1.0 driver, while Windows 8 uses WDDM 1.2, but WDDM is designed to be forward and backward compatible.

Nvidia cards as old as the 6800 series are still supported with current drivers, though support is being dropped for DX9 cards starting with the 310 driver series:

For Nvidia, anything older than 6800 series and you're pretty much up a creek. There is an ancient driver that was released for Vista64 way back in 2006. I have successfully used this driver for older cards in Windows 7 before. There is a chance it might also work with Windows 8.

AMD no longers supports 4000 series or older in windows 8. ( older cards do work, its just they use a generic windows driver)
