There is no need to buy an old VGA card. Apparently the PCI-16 card goes into the PCI-8 slot (as it is open-ended). And guess what - it does the trick.


Great. Thanks.
I had no idea, as I never studied PCI Express.

 

Had to go searching to make sure you're right;

this page is quite clear:

To be more precise and pedantic I'd say 
"no need to buy an old PCI card" and 
"put a PCIe-x16 card in a PCIe-x8 slot".


There's an x8 slot next to each of the two x16 slots, all black.
The two plain-PCI slots are white, at the bottom.
