. . .

Maybe

- while my DS2 PC (with an Ahtlon XP) was broken I temporarily used an even older PC (one with a Celeron or Pentium) to go online to order a new PSU.

btw, its a better buy with the 8600gt and 9600gt. why? cuz they are both faster than the gt610 which is actually an ultra budget low-end card for htpc use. the gt610 wud prolly lag horribly if u tried it for gaming.

To replace my former graphic card (harmed anyhow too) I also intended to buy a GT 610/620/630 (or any AMD/ATi 65xx) card for my DS2 PC, unsure however if there still will be drivers for Windows 2000 and XP.

And indeed, GT 610 isn't any good for gaming, and I have been told that a GT 640 or an AMD/ATi 7750 would be needed on minimum to compete with a 9600 GT from graphical/rendering point of view - ignoring however the heat/noise emissions.
