Your motherboard will take a PCI card only for a video upgrade. Be sure not
to confuse with PCI-E when you go shopping.
I had the same issue as you with a Dell desktop -- I went to Tigerdirect.com
and found an $80 PCI card with 256mb RAM and a decent Radeon chipset and
have not regretted it. The machine runs nearly every current 3rd person
military-style game that is out there and with little or no lag.
BTW, the card was: Visiontek Radeon 9250 Video Card - 128MB DDR, PCI,
DMS-59, Low Profile, Video Card.
Hope this helps.
