PCI Video Card

[SlowSpyder]

I have a Dell D600 laptop in addition to my desktop (gaming) PC. I wanted to try and set up the D600 as a second machine that a friend can use for a little LAN action. I looked around, the dock only has PCI slots, no AGP. Right now the laptop has a Radeon 9000 wit 32 MB or memory, so I wanted to upgrade that. I looked at Newegg, and it appears that the best I could do is a GeForce FX5500, or a GeForce FX5700 LE. I know that the LE are the weaker versions, and this one only had a 64 bit memory bus. Which of these two would you get and why? Is there something better? I didn't see anything better from ATi, but wouldn't care which brand I got. Also, being a slower PCI bus would it benefit me to get more memory on the card so more data could stay in the local memory instead of relying on the slow PCI bus? Thanks in advance.

The laptop is a Pentium M 1.6 (Dothan)
1 Gig of memory, PC2100 or 2700, I forget.
60Gig 5400 RPM drive

I know it's nothing special, but I figured with a better video card it might pass with modern games at lower settings.

There is a PCI 6200 card out there, it was discovered during a recent thread about a member who wanted to find an inexpensive card that a low income family could buy for their son. You will have to search around, but it was agreed to by all to be the best option.

I have the FX5700LE in my work computer. It is faster than the onboard GMA 950 in this Intel 945G motherboard. Image quality is pretty good as well. Yes, it is a bit held back due to the 64bit and all, but I think you'd need a 9600 or so to do better, and I can't find them in PCI any more.
