If it's really just PCI, I think it's time for a new computer. The best I could find is an X1300, generally. Hightech has an X1550, but it's a dual-slot card which requires you to have two adjacent open PCI slots to use.

Yup, if you're stuck with plain-old PCI, chances are the rest of the PC won't be up to scratch either, so, even if you did manage to find a PCI card that would do the job (unlikely), the CPU & RAM would probably let you down...

It is a 2.8 GH with 1gb of ram and runs SH3 great

the only draw back is it is a desk top and not a tower
