Wanting to upgrade my graphics card from integrated. I only have 3 PCI slots and would really appreciate any help.
How about the ATI RADEON X700 PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card? What is PCI-Express and will it work with a regular PCI card slot?
Here are some more, tell me the best one:

No need to make 2 threads about this, anyway...
PCI-express is a completely different from PCI, the only video cards you listed that will work with your computer are:
PNY GeForce FX 5500 128MB DDR PCI Graphics Card
BFG GeForce FX 5500 OC 256MB DDR PCI Graphics Card
Out of those two, the 5500 OC 256MB is faster I suppose.

I'm guessing this is what you were looking at.

As far as PCI videos cards go, you wont find anything much better than that.

Dude, this is the 3rd thread about the same thing!
PCI graphics suck! But if that's all your board supports, that's what you're gonna have to get. Don't spend too much, chances are, you'll never use the card again & it'll only have a resale value of about $10...LOL!
Don't waste your money on a 256MB card, it'll be no faster than a 128MB card...& make sure you get a 128-bit card, NOT a 64-bit card.
Like I said, the choices for PCI cards are few, most are low end, plus they're expensive. From what I can find, these are the ones most commonly available:
FX5200
MX4000
Radeon 9250
Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz
768MB PC3200
Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit
Gamer Edition
WinME/WinXP Pro
