PCI Graphics cards are a thing of the past... The PCI bus lacks the raw
bandwidth to handle todays games or even games from 2-3 years ago.

If you want performance trash that PCI card and get an AGP card. I cant
imagine that 2.20Ghz system doesnt have an AGP slot.

It doesnt matter what type of PCI card you get for games in this case
because the bus limitation so bad that even an nvidia card would suck.

Get a program called: 3dmark01or 3dmark03 and you will see what i mean.

Why are you running a PCI vid card?
