hey guys im looking into buying a new video card for my computer, and i need some opinions on what kind i should get. unfortunately i have only a PCI slot not an agp or PCI-e.
 right now i currently have a ATI Radeon 9250 (256 mb) card. and it works ok but im hopeing there is another card out there that could possible be better than what i got or should i stay with the card i have now?

Yeah Akira, it would be best to just leave your computer as is and save up for buying a mid-range to high-end computer (especially for gaming.) You won't be able to do much with just a pci slot, so it wouldn't be worth putting money into. An about AGP, yeah it does suck because most high-end cards are built for pci-e slot, but I average about 50-70 FPS using a BFG 7800 GS AGP Card. My mobo fried on my Dell 4600 so I just bought another case, new mobo and psu, add more fans, and take whatever components that was still usable from the old dell. So now I can still hang in there fairly good with the all the high-end computers that others have
