I'm looking for a PCI (not PCI-E) graphics card for testing multiple computers throughout times. It should be recent and is capable of playing half-life 2 and similar games. I'm thinking about having a budget of $100 or less.
Although it is not a major concern, but if a low profile version of the card exist, that would be great.
What are some suggestions for the best ones out there?

I cannot be recent as they don't make pci gfx cards anymore... AFAIK.
Get a new motherboard..

That's your best bet.

Good enough, thanks
9500GT is about the best you'll get in PCI. It will run half life 2 with few issues.
I have a 9500 GT and an Intel Pentium 4 @3.2 GHZ with 2 GB ram and it runs HL2 at around 30 FPS average.
shit, Snip
I actually need a semi-decent AGP x8 card. Can anyone suggest one? I need it to run like Gmod on at least medium settings (if possible).

I'm not sure how well it'll run it, but you should be able to run Gmod at medium.

Shit, that's about as nice as the one in my current system. I don't think the computer I'm thinking about putting it in is worthy of it. I guess I'll just wait it out until my future build is completed and I can put all of my computers innards inside a different case instead of dealing with the crappy 2002 mobo I'm working with.
2002 it's probably a P4 Willamette or a P3 Tualatin. Pick up a 6600 GT or something.
I'm not even going to bother. The system I'm on right now is like a '08 build, I'm planning on building a new one soon anyways, there's no point in spending $120 on something when I could just use that money to upgrade and put the old parts in the even older system. Disregard anything I asked. Thanks for your help though.
Would it be a good idea if i picked up a AGP HD3850 for my P4 prescott rig?.
it used to have a x1650 pro before it died
radeon 9550's suck
For AGP get a 6800 Ultra if you can
It's what I have...runs gmod on medium with a few things on high even
6800Ultra was a great card, I had it for a very long time
