PCI is getting to be old tech. You will have to settle for something under 512 for that PCI slot. Also, there is no way to hook up a PCI-e to your computer. The graphics slot is embedded into the mobo, so in order to use your new 512MB video card, you'd have to buy a new motherboard with PCI-e graphics capabilities, sorry to say.
