PCI Video Cards

Hey, my mom just bought a 50$ POS from my brothers girlfriend and it's running:

128 Ram
Celeron 800Mhz
4MB Graphics card
20Gig HDD


What could I put in this to speed it up.. my computer is broken and I need to play some Diablo II until I can make money to fix it. Any low prices PCI cards I can get looking for at least 32-64MB Geforce2's are PCI right? and if so where can I find old graphics cards on the net to buy. Also can any other things be found like low RAM SD Ram I'm pretty sure as far as the CPU goes I think I'm done... I Just need to run Diablo 2 good.
 
I would do that but there is 3 feet of snow outside lol. And I JUST hung with my boys and i got school somthing i need for chill.
 
If you cannot play Starcraft, you may have a problem other than graphics card. Starcraft was a touch slow on my 83 MHz Intel Overdrive, with 16 megs of ram, and something that didn't even qualify as a 3d accelerator; but it ran. How is the software side of that machine, has it been cleaned up recently?
 
I would get whatever Radeon PCI 128-bit model you can find within your budget -whether it is a 7200, 9000, 9250, 9200, 7500, or 8500/9100. The model numbers do not denote relative speed but usually relatively inconsequential features so often it is better to get the previous generation high-end card used than the latest budget or mid-range card new. So do your research. Avoid 64-bit models which often, but not always, sport the "SE" suffix (also, all half-height cards are 64-bit). Check froogle and ebay.
