What card do you have now, and how old does it need to be? Pretty sure I have a Radeon HD card laying around that'll work. Have an R9 290x as well, but that's probably too new (2013, I guess).
EDIT:HD 2600 pro sitting in an HD 4770 box (so the 4770 is most likely in the tower that I haven't turned on since I built it (after doing a full upgrade with a new case/cpu/MB/RAM).
290x in its proper box X800 XL (PCI-e 1.0) in the 2600 box
Yea... I need to get rid of some old stuff...
But PCI-E isn't old, considering it's still being used. It's just a matter of lanes available. But won't a newer card run at reduced speeds on your motherboard? I'm pretty sure you can get one for like $40 or less (plus shipping).
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
