You will hardly find any PCIe card that is slower than the Radeon 8500...

There is no PCI express card that is as low-powered as the 8500 was. If
you were happy with the 8500, try a card based on the X1300, which is
relatively inexpensive and still reasonably powerful. I don't know if
they are still available or not, but Circuit City had the ATI X1300
cards (both AGP & PCI Express versions) available for $119 with a $40
rebate (e.g. $79 after rebate). If you don't go with the actual ATI
built card, the MSI RX1300 Pro is a very good card and is under $100.
If you want to move up from there, there are some good cards based on
the NVidia GeForce 7600 for under $200 ... eVGA's 7600 GS is a good
choice, it's passively cooled (no fan) and it's only slightly over $100.
The eVGA 7600GT is more powerful but is closer to $200.
