- I'm guessing you mean you only have regular PCI slots no PCI-E, old motherboard basically. You can search the internet for the PCI video cards but you will be limited to basically 128meg cards.
- They make graphics cards for PCI, make sure its not for AGP or PCI express. You should be fine.
- SIMPLE, just buy a PCI compatible graphics card you don't have to new motherboard if thats what you're saying! Once you put the graphics card in they will override the intergrated graphics! Simple huh?
- Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129069 Is about as powerful a PCI video card you can get. Radeon X1300 with 256MB video memory. If you want to spend less, FX5500 or Radeon 9250 cards with 256MB go for about 50-60 dollars at Newegg.
