Alas, no... I think that vintage of card is from the time when DVI was
a high-end output :)

The 440MX was the recommended card for Myth systems some 6+ years
ago.... actually, come to think of it, my Myth box will be seven years
old this coming April.

As much as I'd love to build a new box, I haven't followed the
technical progressions much over the years (so I hardly know what to
buy), and the current system is still functioning pretty well.... as
long as I stick to SD (yay analog cable) and keep the ventilation
going (I had to replace the CPU fan earlier this year)
