I have an old desktop that i'm installing a new video card so I can hook it up to my tv. The computer only has 3 regular 120PIN PCI slots available for expansion.

What other exterfance types will work?

PCI Express? or PCI Express 2.0?

well, if you only have PCI slots, than you can only get PCI video cards. Apparently the radeon 8500 is better than the 9250, I think that they are both for PCI. PCI cards are cheap and some have TV connections like RCA and S-video. So just check out PCI cards that have TV connections, and you'll be good to go. They are all cheap for PCI, so thats a plus. Don't try to play a brand new game with it though:p.
