Are there any graphics cards that can be plugged in through USB? Last question - probably - but not worth it - especially on that machine.

You'll probably be better off re-posting your questions to the Hardware
group, or even casting your net wider and asking in a general hardware group/forum as what you're asking is non-specific to the XP operating system.
