Default Looking for a good PCI video card

A friend of mine needs to get a better video card (he's using integrated graphics on his Dell), but I don't know where to look for a regular PCI video card. He said he used to have a Radeon 9700 PCI, but i'm not sure if they ever made those. Does anyone know where I can take a look at some of these cards? Thanks guys and gals!

Darn.. [you know you're in trouble when you can't find even the old enthusiast models for your interface anymore], a quick pricegrab seems to conclude that this x600XT is about as fast/ and cheapest price for it as you'll probably get, but maybe you might try Ebay..

Konai ... he's looking for PCI ... not PCI-E.

Someone already put up the NewEgg link, so here's a couple more:But if you're looking for quick and simple, CompUSA's PCI listing has exhorbitant prices for crappy cards.

I must appologize (didn't read thoroughly enough in the rush to get to school this morning) darn mis-organized pricegrabber..
Alas, this is the MOST POWERFUL card you'll find on the market, aswell as the most reputable, AND cheapest source: GeForce FX 5700LE

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'll show it to him at work tomorrow, and probably just suggest a motherboard upgrade instead.

I'm sure the FX5700LE isn't worth it.
