Back in April of this year, kincaid88 sounded you guys out about a graphics card that would be compatible with an Asus CM1630-05. That was in this thread, here:

You weren't very helpful, but then, he wasn't very specific. I'm in a similar situation, but I can be WAY more specific than he was.
Same exact machine, an Asus Essentio CM1630, same basic specs.
Here's the program I want to run:
Simuride driving simulator:
SimuRide Home Edition
The program doesn't appear to be terribly demanding, requiring only a video card equivalent to or better than an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT, but since that particular card needs an AGP slot, and the Asus CM1630 requires something in a PCIe x16 graphics card to fit the available slot, something else is clearly indicated.
The Power Supply in the case is 300W, 350W peak.
Purchasing a new computer is NOT an option, and I'm obviously not interested in anything with screamingly-high pixel-pushing power. This is just a driving simulator, not Warhammer 40K...
The program is for my wife, to be used on her computer, to help re-aquaint her with driving after recovering from some very serious surgery. So we're on a budget.
How about it, guys? Can I get a few name-brand and model number suggestions for some graphics cards that would work, here? I'm not interested in top-of-the-line or even particularly NEW, just COMPATIBLE.
Thanks, in advance.
