Sounds like your using an AGP slot so your going to have to get a used card. But I need to know your budget and the rest of your system specs to recommend anything.

Honestly there is a certain point where it's pointless to upgrade old systems and your at that point. You could just buy a GeForce 4 off of ebay but anything better than that would be a waste.
