What is the fastest/most powerful nVidia graphics card that fits a PCI slot? I see the 5200 is available in PCI but does anyone know of a faster nVidia card?

I have a friend who insists on a new graphics card for his eMachine but it doesn't have an AGP slot. I say build a new machine but he doesn't have the cash for that.

Thanks to the nVidia gurus.

I would rather have a Geforce4 MX 440 pci card. Inno3D makes one. 5200 sucks.

I'm pretty sure that an ATI offering would offer more, as shown.

Bleh, as you can see form the round-up the 5200 beats the 440 soundly and thats with pixel shaders enabled. Soon I will purchase a Geforce FX 5200 from Mad Dog Multimedia. Many people in the Dell forums have overclocked that card to 325/525! Besides I need to know how my Half Life 2 modification looks in all versions of Direct X. The 9100 is a choice, but my docking station will not work with that card (for unknown reasons). Go for the FX 5200 "Plus" from Mad Dog or Radeon 9100 from VisionTek.
