    I have that card too cuz my stupid Dell only has a PCI slot and newegg reviews say it's the best PCI can give

    I used to play City of Heroes on a Radeon 9200 LE (I think) and I upgraded it to that card but it does nothing for me it looks the same and the lag didn't stop... could've been the server but I doubt it cuz it was better on low settings, hopefully you'll have better luck with it.

    Save your money for a little while longer ... and upgrade your mobo. PCI is very outdated since AGP and PCI-E are much faster. If you can go a little while longer without upgrading ... you'll get a better deal. But don't listen to me ... cause I played $320 for my ASUS x850 XT Platinum Edition. :D

    try to search for a 6600, 6600 LE, or x700 Pro ... cause I believe that they make those in PCI format ... if you can find them ... they would give u the best performance.

    you should listen, people suggested that you save for a new motherboard os you don't have such a constraint. you can find them as cheap as 30$ and 60$ for a good one, it isn't buying a whole new PC either, far from.

    they probably meant standard ATX, micro ATX should fit fine.

    they don't make 478 motherboards with PCI-e slots, letting you know(or atleast they aren't available on newegg)

    they do have ones with AGP slots... more or less go for whichever one offers the biggest bang for the $, be warned though ECS is crap
