You're going to have to make this clear,
is it a
PCI card?
or
a
PCI-E (PCI Express).
Assuming you're from america, check out
newegg.
I'm going to assume that you have a recent computer that uses
PCI-Express.
Considering PCI is very phased out by AGP, which is now
fairly phased out by PCI-E.
It depends also if you're building a new
computer or replacing an older PCI-E GPU.
I looked around newegg and
found
this:
eVGA 256-P2-N554-AX Geforce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video
Card - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130017)
Its got 181 reviews and averages 4/5, which is
great.
I've heard good things about eVGA and the price?
$152.99
But anyway, without knowing your currency, location
(country?), etc.
If posted your other specificiations (or proposed)
for your PC (or new one, and lemme know if its new) and I can probably help
you out a bit more.
Some people are waiting for DX10 cards but I think
they'll be nowhere near mainstream or these prices until at least June/July
next year, depends alot on how smooth all sorts of things go.
Note
that the latest cards, such as the ATI X and X1 series, and nVidia's 6x and
7x series I believe all support at least shader 2.0 and anti-aliasing I'm
also pretty sure is standard.

well thanks for all the help netro but i
meant PCI, i have a new board, but they fucked up and soldered a PCI instead
of AGP to the board (nothing i could do either due to the contest in which i
won the computer)
i know newegg has lots of help but i just need a
PCI, not PCI express like you suggested
i think im gonna just get a
barebone kit soon with AGP or PCI express slots
once again thanks for
the time but you shouldnt assume (makes an ass out of you and me)
