I hope you realize that your video card is actually a GeForce 2 overclocked a bit.  I wouldn't get my hopes up for much of anything in that last few years.... 

Seriously, Half-Life 2. Valve optimized the game to run really well with DirectX 7 cards, which is what the GeForce 4 MX is. The game certainly doesn't look as pretty as it does in DX 8 or 9 (here's screenshot comparisons), but you get a very smooth framerate in return.

Off the top of my head, Unreal Tournament 2004, Dawn of War, WarCraft III, Civilization 4, and Operation Flashpoint are all games that should at least run decently as well. 

command and conquer generals, zero hour, the sims, sim city 4/rush hour, counter strike, half life 1 and 2 and all mods.

deus ex, silent hill series, yuri's revenge, warcraft 3, diablo 2, ragnarok online, rose online, flyff

max payne 1 and 2, call of duty, star wars kotor, homeworld 2, rainbow six raven shield, railroad tycoon 3, halo 1

splinter cell, prince of persia sands of time, freedom fighter, grand theft auto 3, vice city, unreal 2003

dungeon siege, never winter nights, medal of honor allied assault, harry potter sorceres  stone, no one live forever 2

no upgrade needed to play these

you may as well save your money for that DX10 GPU  and extra gig of ram

LOL You have a GeForce 4 MMX. Total suckage for you.TacticalElefant

Who are you to tell him suckage for him? You just shut up and help the pc gaming community.  

1 Gig of Ram would be safe to play most games
