Is there a PCI graphics card strong enough for Oblivian E.S.4 not pci-e but pci?

There are PCI cards out there that will RUN oblivion, but you will probably not want to play it, as settings will be VERY low and framerates will be very bad. AGP is the slowest BUS i think taht would be able to PLAy Oblivion.... sorry.

OK, since you have a P4 w/ 2.4 GHz, it's a good thing you want a low cost card since that's a pretty low performing CPU nowadays.\n\nI disagree w/ the other poster.  You don't choose graphics cards by matching AMD w/ nVidia and Intel w/ ATI.  That has nothing to do with it.  Honestly, AMD has it all over Intel for gaming nowadays, period.\n\nIf you want Pixel Shader 3 you will have go with one of the ATI x1000-series cards or an nVidia 6 or 7 series card.  Also the 9800 cards suggested by the other writer are 2 generations out of date.  For ATI, the last Gen were X800 cards; current are the X1000 series.\n\nHowever, 9800 cards are pretty cheap right now and you can get them around 126 (OEM) or 127 (non-OEM) at Newegg (according to Pricegrabber).\n\nX800 prices are close to 200.\n\nFor nVidia cards, I would recommend the 6600GT\n\nI'm assuming you have AGP, but check just in case.\n\nNote that these cards are going to need a free Molex connector for power.

I would look at the latest versions of the Nvidia or ATI graphics card range ie ATI Radeon 9800 or Nvidia 6800 or 7600 ( I dont think they do an AGP version of the 7800 or 7900 although I could be wrong ) Worth while checking out though. Look on www.tomshardware.com and www.firingsquad.com for reviews etc\n\nI hope this helps

the best and most exspensive on the market right now is NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8828136606&category=3762 ...go to http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=5/form_keyword=video%20card/rd=1/popup1[]=15:387 and explore different memory amounts, brands, and compare prices

for AGP and pci-express slots (2 versions): Ati x1600 pro goes slightly over the $100, but is a significant boost from the $100 x1300 pro.\n\nfor pci-express slots: nvidia 7600gs

You need a a video card that's dx9 compliant, at least radeon 9200se.

Eeeeesh.  You mean you are limited to a PCI slot.  Well, in that case it would be the Radeon 9600 BUT let's take a look at some other options.  Note that none of the PCI graphics cards are going to be powerhouses but if it's the best you can do... it's the best you can do...\n\nThe best you can do in a PCI graphics card is probably at Radeon X1300 for $115, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814129062\n\nAs I said, it's not powerhouse but is far superior to either the 9250 or 9600.  If you have really reserved yourself to the 9250 or 9600 keep in mind that not all Radeon 9250 cards support DirectX 9, most only support DirectX 8 (that's bad...) so go with the 9600 if those are really your only two choices.\n\nI was also unable to locate a PCI version of the Radeon 9600 from Newegg (though other stores may have it), I will only shop and buy from them.  The final word is, neither model you have picked is that great and if you really must go with PCI the the Radeon X1300 is the way to go.

nvidia geforce 7800 gt oc is a PCI Express card\n\nnvidia geforce 7800 gs oc is a AGP card

PCI Express if you have one.\nOtherwise AGP.\nPCI is like 16x slower than AGP and will give you horrible performance.\n\nKeep in mind the video card determins which slot you can put it in.  Only an AGP video card will go in an AGP slot, etc.\n\nAlso make sure the card you buy will work with your motherboard.   A motherboard will generally have PCI Express and PCI, or AGP and PCI.  I've never seen a motherboard with both AGP and PCI Express.

I wouldn't recomend PCI port for high end gaming like oblivion.  Try using an AGP port if you have one, or a PCI-express, if not then you should try an nvidia card, maybe the 256mb geforce 6200, it runs on PCI, but you're gonna sacrifice a lot of graphics.

You can always make G-card upgrades, most most likey your computer uses PCI but check the manual.

There is a flavor of the ATI Radeon 9250 is a reasonably priced PCI (not express) card which has a TV-out capability.  I've included a link to the card on pricegrabber below.

try this one..\nXFX GeForce 6600GT 256 MB PCI-E SLI Ready Graphics Card

If you have a PCI Express slot get one of those.  Regardless go with NVIDIA or an NVIDIA line, they are better than any other company out there.  All my friends who work for CAD, Architecture, programming and for Disney, Dreamworks use Nvidia.  I would go with a 256MB Nvidia line that supports directX 9.  The higher the res it can max out at the better as well becaue if you play it at a lower res than the max supported your card works faster.  Also the Nvidia drivers are much easier to work with I had a 5500OC 256 card and was able to use the 5700 drivers for it without any problems.  If you want to change and upgrade your mobo, then upgrade to one that has PCI Express slots in them as PCI is going to be completely phased out  and soon AGP will be phased out as well.  Depending on how soon you plan to upgrade your mobo I'd wait and get one with a PCI Express slot then buy a PCI E card with the specs previously mentioned.

It depends on the chip used for the integrated graphics, but most on-board video cards would have a tough time with WoW or Galaxies.  Depending on if you have an AGP port of PCI-Express port on your motherboard, there are a number of budget cards that would allow you to play those games at a decent speed and frame rate without killing your wallet.  I run an old AGP Radeon 9600 and it is able to play WoW perfectly well.

Nope.  This is like putting a square peg in a round hole. \n\nLook for a PCI video card.\n\nIf you get a new motherboard that has a AGP slot, make sure that you know what you are looking at.   The old AGP boards and old AGP slots are different than the new 4X and 8X AGP slots.   Again, it's like Apples and Oranges.

NOOO!!!! a PCI-e card will not fit in an AGP slot, and I would not recomend trying to fit it in a PCI slot, either get an AGP card or get a new motherboard that has atleast one PCI-e slot. After just looking up info on your motherboard I would suggest just getting and AGP card because you wouldn't be able to get a motherboard that supports your CPU and system memory with a PCI-e slot. If money isn't too much of a problem, I have found a good GeForce 6800XT for $146.99.
