Not PCI Express, just PCI.

If applicable, Vista Compatible?

yep, get the GeForce 6200. here's a link to order it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814139010
i would highly suggest upgrading. Maybe not now, but if you want the new windows vista and a decent system to really use it, you're gonna need one. even the 6200 isn't all that great for newer games and will probably allow you to play on lowto med. low settings. Even though it has 256 MB of memory, it's using really slow regular DDR memory and only 4 pixel pipelines. The standard nowadays is at least 12 pipelines. I would seriously invest in a new system.

I haven't seen a PCI graphic card in some time and nVidia makes chips for several brand name of other mfg AGP cards, besides their own offering but last time I looked they were AGP. I'd tell you to check the following link to get some info. To approach AGP speeds, you'd probably need a graphics accelerator besides a PCI card.

One more piece of advice. Every $200 vid card I ever owned burned up fast. Don't let the room temperature get over 90 degrees. My $25 card has lasted 5+ years now. But, then again, I'm not gaming, I'm video tape edit and programming.

Cuite, he said nVidia, seroiusly. And that card isn't even a PCI card. GeForce 6200 is the answer, and it should be basic Vista compatible, however I wouldn't try running Ultimate on it.

Wow! I think it is time to upgrade today's integrrated video cards are better than PCI cards!
I would suggest picking this up:

and a cheap CPU:

and use the built in video until you can purchase a better card!
