    You can get PCI video cards, but they're not very fast. If you're hoping to play modern games with the PC, you're out of luck.

    It probably means the card comes with 256MB of RAM but uses 256MB of your PC's RAM to help it along. PCIe cards certainly do this, but I wasn't sure if PCI cards had it or not.
