Hey guys, thought I could come here for some advice.

I haven't been satisfied with the card that I've had for awhile now (came with the computer.) I've tried Omega Drivers, and a bunch of different stuff. Just doesn't cut it for the games I play now. It's a NVidia GeForce FX 5200, really old stuff. It can't run DX9 adequately, and when I look into smoke, my fps chops noticeably. I get anywhere from 30-90 FPS. I play on DX7 640x460 comfortably.

I'm looking for a cheap card, yet can still preform. I'm probably getting a laptop for college next year, so I'm not dropping like 300 bucks for a card. I just want something that reasonably runs DX9, but isn't all that much money. I know alot of cards are PCI-e/PCI/AGP exclusive as well, I don't think my motherboard is either of the latter, and certainly not the first. I opened up the case and it read "Dell Rev AO2"

I can't decipher what motherboard I have. I have a Dimension 4600, so my computer's pretty old. Here's some info from Belarc.
