Its not for me but my friend and he doesnt have a AGP slot. major upgrade or getting a new computer is out of the option. So what is currently the best PCI video card (price doesnt really matter since they are Wayyy cheaper than AGP cards)
Either a MX440 or Radeon 9000. Go to www.newegg.com and search for video cards with a PCI interface. They have some MX420's there for ~$60, the Radeon 9000 is a bit more at $99.
