Would a graphics card that new even work on an old windows xp system?

I have a Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower, and I was looking to see what would be the most powerful graphics card I could put in it. I believe the computer has a 250 watt power supply if that helps. The motherboard is a model G33M02. The current graphics card is a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1300.

So, could I use an Intel SSD with toolbox in the computer and achieve good performance? Are there other applications I could use for other brands of ssds?

I thought that there were some programs that could bypass this issue, such as toolbox on intel ssds.

I have here a Dell Vostro 200 slim running Windows XP. I was looking to improve performance on this machine. Now I know the best solution would be to junk this system and buy something with Windows 7/8 or to install a linux operating system on here. However, the computer doesn't belong to me and the owner is looking to improve performance. I was looking to install some more RAM and an ssd onto the system, however I keep reading that ssds and windows xp do not go well together. Note: I was looking to use an ssd by Crucial or Kingston. In short, I was wondering what steps I would need to take in order replace the current hard drive with an ssd while avoiding all problems.
