What video card???

[wee493]

My Brother wants to get a video card for his Dell 3000 series. I dose not have any PCIx16 slots just regular PCI slots and he wasts it to be able to run ubuntu's graphical interface (the aero of ubuntu)

OOOO and also Please as cheap as possible, one he is broke and two it will not be used for games

Well, that's a little hard to run 3D effects, XGL and beryl. Although, the BEST card for PCI would be this one:

X1550.

The GPU is same. Just the low-profile version.

If you habve 256MB RAM. 4.1 GB free, and a decent CPU (PII 350 and up...maybe lower), you can install it.
