OT: I still have use for PCI graphics: I needed to refit two PCs with dual port PCIe ethernet adapters. These only come with 4x PCie and many boards only have 1x PCIe slots (aside of their PEG port). So I used an old PCI graphics card and put the network adapter in the PEG slot. With one board (cheap MSI) it worked; the other one (expensive Intel) didn't work because the chipset apparently detected the network adapter as a graphics adapter even though PCI had higher priority in the BIOS settings.
