I don't know if you'll find a whole lot of pci cards used but if you're looking for something affordable, check this out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131082 . I don't know how good the driver support is, but it's definitely more on the affordable side than some other PCI cards out there.

If you don't have pci-e you must have agp which is a lot better than pci.

No, those old Dells often didn't come with AGP slots. My old Dell Dimension 2350 didn't come with one either. I had to run a PCI Geforce FX 5200 for the longest in that thing.
