Any good video cards that have a PCI interface?

I have a 2003 Dell computer. I just bought Battlefield 2 and realized that my video card could not handle the game. I want to buy a video card that has a PCI interface. I cannot run PCI-E video cards!

Answer:
Are you sure you are limited to PCI, most boards on a system that can run battlefield will have AGP.

Check motherboard specs (AGP is usually a brown(ish) slot further fom edge of case than PCI )

A PCI slot does not have enough data bandwidth for modern video cards, you can find a basic card to hold your desktop, and use a better card for heavy work, but that would be a twin montor setup.

Check motherboard again, see if you ccan use AGP.
you find some but nothing really that are going to be able to handle battlefield
time to upgrade the mobo for PCI-E
First check if you computer has an AGP slot. Most older computers have an AGP slot. AGP graphic cards are still widely available (ATI, based on nVidia chipset). PCI-E (express) is the newer standard.

A PCI card is less powerful than AGP. It will work but performance is so-so. If you know your Dell model number, go to the DELL support site, enter your Dell model and look under technical specs for AGP cards.
No PCI card is going to be able to run battlefield 2. If you bought it in 2003, it probably has AGP slot. You can upgrade that instead.
