Does a DisplayPort Video Card for PCI (not PCI-E) exist?

Am trying to drive a 27" iMac mini DisplayPort input from an old WindowsXP system (HP Compaq dc5700 Microtower). Have already tried the PCI-E card slot with a $37 Gigabyte video card - got '922 - This system only supports SDVO/ADD2 cards in the X16 slot.' response. Just looking for a cheap way to drive the big display (Target mode) with the XP system.
 
I have not seen any PCI video cards with DP. All just seem to make it to HDMI.

Does the board have a PCI-E X1 slot by any chance?

With some mods a x16 card can be made to work on an X1 slot.
