Best PCI GPU?

[mpegripper]

Hi Guys,

I have a rig here at work:
2.8 Celeron D
IBM Mobo
1GB of DDR 333
Ultra 320 SCSI Drives

and it only has PCI slots, I converted it from a 1RU unit. My question is what is the best video card that I can get for a PCI slot, newegg seems to list the best GPU's as being either fx5200 or 9250. Are those the best ones within reason? I would like to play CS:S sometimes on this.

I also remembered seeing a 6600 pci version once, can anyone confirm this?

also, do you think getting one with 256mb is actually beneficial for such a budget card?

i found an fx550 128mb from evga, anything better out there?

They never made a PCI 6600, but they did make a PCI 6200. It's pretty much the best thing you can get for PCI.

just found that bfg 6200 256mb.


probably will order that


edit: no one has stock!!! bestbuy wants 160 for them also

best pci you can get is either a 5700le or a 6200 but ive only seen them online.

VisionTek has an ATI Radeon X1300 PCI video card. That is going to be the best you can get.
