Default New graphics card needed

Right now I'm running a default intel card that is listed on the GW site as "shouldn't be able to run the game". I've been doing this for a year, but it crashes due to a lack of memory after about 1 and a half hours-2 hours. I want to buy a new card, but i didn't want to spend too much. I was thinking $150 tops. I just want a card with enough memory to run the game as long as I want without having to run on the lowest res possible. Problem is, I only have PCI slots.

Thanks in advance for the help.

PCI...

You might look at the Radeon 9250 Video Card, PCI, 256MB DDR, or the GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, PCI, 256MB DDR.

you wont find much for a PCI slot. I would choose the FX 5200 over the ATi 9250, but thats personal preference.

I'd go for a 9800 pro, it's one of ATI's best value for money cards. For it's age it's got pretty fair performance and should easily run Guildwars on High. The card is, as i said, old but this brings it's price down.
