We have a large number of PCs without PCI-E slots at our company (crappy HP corporate boxes) and need a recommendation of a decent (32-bit) PCI graphics card now that our previous choice - the Nvidia FX5200 - is going End of Life.

Ideally we'd like to stick to Nvidia. Any thoughts?
(yes I have tried google, thanks)
 
I don't think they did any 6xxx series nvidia cards on PCI slots. Even AGP was starting to age then.

Whats wrong with keeping the FX5200 even though its end of life?
 
Thanks for the link to the ATI cards.

We need to find a new card to purchase to add dual-monitor capability to relatively old systems moving forward, and the FX5200 is disappearing from stock everywhere.

There is a 6200 PCI and a 8400GS PCI but both are pretty rare too and the 8400 caused issues with some of our systems where it would not allow the PC to shutdown - the PC would just restart instead...
 
How about something like a Matrox G550 LP PCI? You can use them in standard slots as well as Low Profile.
