what do u mean by PCI cards? Do u mean Graphic PCI card. If so then they are now non-existent in the market.
all other addon cards like soundcard, modem, etc. are available in pci, they have not moved to pci-x

You can get a PCI graphics card but it won't be any good for newer games.

You have a 815 mobo which means you have a Pentium III processor and SD RAM. No matter which graphics card you buy, you can't play games because the rest of the system is really slow. You'll just have to buy a whole new rig.

I fear dat the older 815 mobo has 2x AGP nd todays 8x cards are only compatible on 8x or 4x slots. Even the voltages employed on 1x/2x and 4x/8x are different.

So i suggest get a cheap 845 mobo with AGP slot nd buy a Gcard say a 6600non GT. Dun waste money on GT as the other system config is low nd u can't utilize it to the maximum nd a 2Ghz intel proc is bare min for todays games.
