PCI graphics cards are sevearly limited by the bandwidth of the PCI bus; So much so that they all perform more or less the same. If you have a PC as old as it seems you do, I'd advise you to save up that money for a new computer. Any investment you make into this one is pretty much a waste.

Don't even bother with PCI graphics cards. It's probably only going to be a slight improment over what you have already. Just save up for something better....

Why on earth was that card made with 512mb of vram:?

For that price the 2400pro would be the best choice i reckon
