Hiren Mehta,

The website www.newegg.com has a good selection of all types of graphics
cards, including those for PCI, and is a good place to review hardware.
Access the site and search on PCI graphics cards. The site will display a
good selection of such cards, but I don't know whether any of them will be
Aero compatible. It doesn't cost anything to look. If you find a card you
like, you might be able to buy it locally. Good luck.
