Opengl is out of the question. Direct x, if deciding to work, will deliver speeds slower than molasses.

this graphics card is from the year 1998 if i remember correctly... (if you are really 11 ... then it was made before you were born)

i still own a rage pro from ATI that's still working in my home-"server" (based on the same chip)
on this card you won't be even able to run quake3 arena with all effects - just because back at those times the openGL drivers from ATI were even much worse than they are now.

short answer:
it will NOT run any of today's programs.
it will MAYBE work for a N64 emulator with direct3d-plugin (i remember playing "Zelda - Ocarina of Time" on my PII 233Mhz in UltraHLE with about 10FPS via a glide-wrapper on that card xD)
