I currently have an nVidia GeForce 5500 PCI graphics card in my PC. I have no AGP slots. My PC is a Compaq Presario SR1120NX.
The graphics card works fine, but I know it's outdated. I want to move up to something that delivers more punch, but am having trouble finding anything. I've looked at the GeForce 7800GT, but it's PCI-Express. I don't have a slot for PCI-Express.
Can anyone recommend a powerful PCI graphics card?

The fastest card you can get is the AGP version of ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition which is close by performance to FX 7800 GTX , but you will have to try hard to find a store that has it in stock cause AGP is history for the manufacturers and sellers.

I don't think your going to find much more punch then you already have, since
You have no AGP or PCI EXPRESS bus

In my opinion the graphics card upgrade is pointless use this one and save up for a whole new PC. If you can than use newegg.com and build it yourself

I agree with iamarcin on this one. You're probably better off saving some cash up for a new system instead.
The Compaq Presario SR1120NX is a budget desktop with limited upgradability - especially with no AGP or PCI-E slots.
