Need pci Video card reccomendation

I took a quick look on the egg, and a couple other sites, and have seen the Nvidia 6200 as my basic option..(not sure on the best choice for EITHER Ati or Nvid). Any other reccomendations (besides a motherboard upgrade - HEH). I know I'm restriced by the pci, but I would like to try to go the best I can for now.

If you're intending to use it for any kind of gaming, don't even bother spending the money. That video card would be so held back by available bandwidth it wouldn't be able to really hit its full potential (which, for any card available in regular PCI format, isn't going to be very high anyways).

But if you just need some kind of replacement for ancient onboard video or something to use for additional monitor outputs, yeah, I think an 8500GT may be the best option.

My suggestion is just upgrade your motherboard because even if u get a good card like deruberhanyok said there would be a huge bandwidth. It would be almost the same.

At about $300 after euro conversion, vat, and shipping, This isn't an option..........interesting card though.

I also already mentioned a new motherboard wasn't a choice either. Thanks anyway.
