Which PCI Graphics Card To Buy Less Than $100?

I need to purchase a PCI graphics card (not PCI express) for less than $100. I realize that it is very not cost effective to buy a PCI card because they are so much more expensive for a card that isn't as good as PCI Express, but it is my only option. My client cannot afford a new computer at the moment, or a new motherboard (it's a dell, it would be a pain to try to replace the motherboard with something decent anyway).

Basically it needs to run Counter Strike, preferably even newer games than that, but I understand that can be difficult for a PCI card less than $100.

What do you think? Geforce 6200? Radeon HD2400? Geforce 8400GS? Geforce 9400GT? Geforce FX5200? Radeon 9250?

I do not know much about these older cards, especially with PCI.

Thoughts on value and performance would be greatly appreciated.

replacing your mother board is harder then you think since Dell uses BTX motherboards, not the ATX format just about everyone else uses.

Here is a hierarchy list of graphic cards, looks like the 9400GT is the winner but don't hold your breathe on it running any new games on even the lowest settings. It's not a modern gaming card by any stretch of the imagination. It should be able to handle any game pre-2006 including Valve games like counter strike that are less GPU demanding then most.
