I have a 2003 Dell computer. I just bought Battlefield 2 and realized that my video card could not handle the game. I want to buy a video card that has a PCI interface. I cannot run PCI-E video cards!

First check if you computer has an AGP slot. Most older computers have an AGP slot. AGP graphic cards are still widely available (ATI, based on nVidia chipset). PCI-E (express) is the newer standard.A PCI card is less powerful than AGP. It will work but performance is so-so. If you know your Dell model number, go to the DELL support site, enter your Dell model and look under technical specs for AGP cards.
No PCI card is going to be able to run battlefield 2. If you bought it in 2003, it probably has AGP slot. You can upgrade that instead.
There are no PCI cards except those 8mb ones which i doubt even have hardware DX 6.1 support.
