This is D201GLY2A mainboard and 2 GB RAM, removed from a mini-ITX chassis that's gonna get all new modern(ish) guts.

The integrated SiS graphics is not very good and works reasonably well only under Windows XP. It didn't work in Linux with acceleration last time I checked, is buggy in Vista, buggier in Win7, and not supported at all in Win8.

But there is one normal PCI slot, so I though I'll install the mainboard in ATX chassis to make use of that slot. The question is - what card should I look for? Are there any (reasonably priced) PCI cards with drivers compatible with Vista or later? What about x64?
Or should I stick with XP?

I think GeForce 6200s aren't too expensive or difficult to find in PCI and have XP and Vista support as well as x64 drivers.

Running anything newer then Windows XP will be painfully slow so I wouldn't try to hard to find a more modern gpu with support for Windows 7.

I have two of these cards and my idea was to run Windows 98 and put a Voodoo2 in the pci slot.
