PCI came before AGP or PCI-E.

There arent many good cards out for PCI. What games are you trying to play?

my computer was built during the transition between agp and pci express...(after agp but before pci express) so i have only pci but right now i have a radeon 9250 It runs everthing but oblivion, im trying to find a card that will run oblivion, O also my Radeon is overclocked.
I play Everquest, EQ2, WoW, guild wars, and many other pc games.

I think your motherboard is just a cheap bored without agp, cause i haven't heard of any motherboards built before pci-express and after agp...

Anyways, i believe the fx 5700LE pci edition is the best pci card, but dont expect much from it.
