Not for the price... you need 8 series or better PCI cards. There's only a handful and not really worth it being so low performance.
PCI folding cards?

$60-80 for 16SP? $90 for 32SP?
He could spend $60 for a single-slot 9600GSO with 96SP plus a $8 PCIe adapter instead. Same cost but massively better performance/efficency.

OR try a PCI-E8x or 16X splitter! I'd like to see someone do that and daisy chain max gso's!

I second that I want to see it go. Hmmmm my extra slot with a splitter x8/ 2 = x4 with 2 cards folding = more points regardless hehehehehe.

Then Leave, it would be ignorant to just suggest a PCI card that might get 1500PPD and cost more than a solution that works better, gets 3 times the PPD and is cheaper

Yes, but by thinking outside the box.... you can do more for less.

His question was really about PCI cards... it was how to increase Folding. Checking his mobo spec and components, we see there's a free x1 PCIe slot and we have a solution to utilize that.

That riser will allow him to use a PCI16x not just a 1x card.

lololol
Last PCI card I had was a Viper v550 and it was 16MB.
It won't fold, but it'll be interesting if someone with a 233MX system will dust it out and churn some WUs. Think I had 64MB on that rig (beats the 486DX, which had 24MB).
