Your desktop is actually too old for win7 to run proprely. You got lucky that you could even run win7. It would be a better bet for you to buy a new computer (even a cheap 250$ computer can outperform your current computer).

But if you insist getting a PCI standard card, the only one that can work with win7 is the GeForce FX 5200, 5500 and 5600.
Just be sure to not buy the AGP version, and to buy the PCI version.
However, you can only find used FX cards, since they are already discontinued a while ago.

Here's a example of a FX 5200 on ebay : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/PNY-GeForce-VCGFX522PPB-FX5200-256MB-PCI-128-bit-DDR-Video-Card-KK-3-/330938118156?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item4d0d72f00c

Wow... I actually wasn't aware that such a product can even exist!...
Thanks for the input though, for once, it was actually ME who learned something... :)
