Hi
I have a computer that i need to replace the graphics card. The motherboard only has pci slots. I'm guessing PCI Express cards don't fit the Pci slot, so was just wondering if anybody knew where i could buy a pci graphics card

Ebay is the only place that springs to mind.
PCI-E is totally different to PCI. What are you wanting to do with the vga card? No gaming I take it?
This FX5200 is as good as it gets on PCI, but dont expect it to do much in the way of gaming: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=656814
Full list of PCI cards at Scan and CCL:

think they made 6200 on pci too tbh seen links for it before
Most of the 6200's on sale now are 64bit, which is terrible, The 5200 I linked to above is 128bit, which is probably the best he can hope for.Quote:

I'm a bit of a fan of budget gaming, so lets keep this into context for the poor chap :)

£31 buys you a 5200 card. It's not anywhere near great....but there is a HUGE back catalogue of games you can try playing :)
Find games that are not fully 3d and the sky is the limit.
What do you like playing?
His computer must be pretty old and Mine runs on AGP which i think someone said that AGP is a lot better than PCI, Thank good i can go as high as a 7600GT :D
am i not right to remember they are bringing the like of the 7600 out on pci :S i think 7300 was mentioned too
i think if you go to the msi website they still do them i am sure that what was in my last pc
