Well, sorry to say this, but unless your PC has an AGP slot or a PCI Express slot, no video card you buy will do the trick.
There is a reason that newer (better) video cards use AGP or PCI-E, and that is because those slots give the card the bandwidth it needs to send the huge amount of data it processes back to the rest of the PC.
So even if you had a killer video card, if you could somehow connect it to your PC using a PCI slot, the performance would still suck, because of the limited bandwidth available to the PCI bus.
Sounds like you will need a whole new PC to play your game.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, amigo.

I would advise getting a pci express card if you have a slot on your computer for it because thats the new standard now
