Answer 1

PCI is a type of interconnection between the PCI slot and the processor. Yes you can buy a PCI video card bigger then your onboard no doubt. When you purchase it just make sure you ask for a pci video card...see what they got. That will fit a pci expansion slot on your board.

Answer 2

Your computer sounds to be about 10 years old. A new video card would be a waste of money. You need an entire new computer.

GTA San Andreas requires Windows 2000 or XP, and those won't even run on a machine that old. You need something that was at least built this century.

Even an old used computer ~5 years old should be OK and shouldn't cost much money. Either that, or buy a PS2. They're also really cheap right now.

Answer 3

PCI graphics cards are Ancient! Are you sure your not PCIe?

I wouldnt waste another pennie on your existing computer. Save up and buy a complete new system.

Answer 4

If your motherboard is really limited to old PCI instead of AGP or PCI-e, the best card you can buy is linked below:
