    I discovered that my computer has only pci slots in the motherboard. As I do not want to go get a new motherboard, what is the best video card you can reccomend me? (try to stay less than $200)

    video cards under $200 is hard to pick. well for me. if your willing to spend another 40 dollars get the radeon 9800pro. or the nvidia gforce 6600gt

    I had the same problem as you man. I ended up choosing the Radeon 9250 and it works great, no problems yet.

    Yes, it's a normal PCI slot... and i don't want to get a new motherboard when it is still not obsolete... maybe in a few years/months.

    I could, but i would rather have a much better motherboard after a while than a cheap one now.
