I have a 2003 Dell computer. I just bought Battlefield 2 and realized that my video card could not handle the game. I want to buy a video card that has a PCI interface. I cannot run PCI-E video cards!|||Are you sure you are limited to PCI, most boards on a system that can run battlefield will have AGP.
Check motherboard specs (AGP is usually a brown(ish) slot further fom edge of case than PCI )
A PCI slot does not have enough data bandwidth for modern video cards, you can find a basic card to hold your desktop, and use a better card for heavy work, but that would be a twin montor setup.
Check motherboard again, see if you ccan use AGP.|||you find some but nothing really that are going to be able to handle battlefield
time to upgrade the mobo for PCI-E|||First check if you computer has an AGP slot. Most older computers have an AGP slot. AGP graphic cards are still widely available (ATI, based on nVidia chipset). PCI-E (express) is the newer standard.
A PCI card is less powerful than AGP. It will work but performance is so-so. If you know your Dell model number, go to the DELL support site, enter your Dell model and look under technical specs for AGP cards.|||No PCI card is going to be able to run battlefield 2. If you bought it in 2003, it probably has AGP slot. You can upgrade that instead.
