You can't use a PCI Express video card - that's only an X1 slot. You are limited to a standard, 32-bit PCI video card only.

The best you can get is a PCI version of the Geforce 6200. It's an extremly low end card, but better than Intel's video you have now. If you do buy a new card, make sure to install drivers from Nvidia.com, NOT the drivers included with the card. And follow the instructions on these forums for disabling integrated video first.
