You don't necessarily need a new card. If your problem is you have a PS/2
mouse and you don't have a jack to plug it into, you only need to find a (I
don't know the name for it is) adapter? that fits into the slots on the back
of the computer, (looks like the adapter that has the monitor jack on it).
On the backside of it, there will be one or two ribbon cables attached to
it, and they will plug into the motherboard. You would then have the adapter
you need for this. This should work if you can find the adapter. I was
unable to find one at the local Radio Shack.
