Could anyone tell me the best possible PCI video card on the market? I know there won;t be much, but it's worth a try. I have an emachines computer and it won't support PCIe or AGP cards, so only PCI cards please. Price osn't an issue, I just need a top-of-the-line PCI graphics card.
Thanks in advance!

I purchased an ATI Radeon 9250 with 256 MB for a scant $130 from Best Buy in March. It runs every game I have thrown at it with ease and I almost always have graphics settings maxed out. If you're interested, here is a link to the card on bestbuy.com. You can't go wrong with this one.
The BFGTech 512 MB DDR3 6800 GT Ultra.

GOOD JOB HE SAID PCI
AND I SWEAR BLACK DIDNT YOU POST THIS AT LEAST ONCE IF NOT TWICE ALREADY?
Forgive me if I'm confusing you with someone but this topic has come up at least two times this past couple weaks and I seem to remember your sig...
Anyway, I originally thought an ATI 9200 was the best you could do but I've found they actually make a GeForce 5700. If this topic comes up one more time...
Well whatever I get has to be compatible with Guild Wars. I've tried to find a list of Guild Wars compatible video cards but I can't find anything. On the website, the recommended video cards are the ATI Radeon 9000 (I searched for it and only came up with a mac version and a laptop version) and the GeForce 4 Ti Series (can't find those at all, let alone a PCI one).
So if the cards you guys mentioned will run Guild Wars well, i'll try them out.
Graphics cards aren't compatible with a game. You have it backwards. A game has system requirements that are met by using a specific level of rendering power.

PCI? Haha I didn't even think they made those anymore.
