Find out what socket PIII it is, you may be able to upgrade it. Parts for a computer of that age are usually dirt cheap now a days.

I have an old Creative Labs TNT 2 Ultra and a BFG Asylum GeForce 4 Ti 4200.

The TNT is older than the GF4, but it should run quieter and cooler. The fan has also been replaced on the GF4 so it would require an empty slot next to the video card to fit. Both have the multi-out plug that an S-video plug fits into and appears that it should work. I also have some random convertors to composite that came from other cards, but I believe will work ok.
