Re: PCI video card
The main two cards around in PCI nowdays are a 256MB GeForce 6200, and the ATI X1550. Both under $100, but neither is going to handle 1080p I expect, although they're half decent cards for 720 and probably 1080i, but of course it'll also depend on your CPU.
PCI just doesn't have the bandwidth to run it all smoothly. It seems that even the 8xxx series cards on PCI-Ex16 have to do a bit of work, and even then the modern CPU is helping out. Not so simple for John.Q.PC this 1080p stuff it seems.....
