Suggestions for a graphics card for roughly £100? I do have one in mind but I'm curious as to what you guys think... I've got a Geforce FX5200 at the moment as it was in the machine when I got it.

AGP or PCI-E? - Although Im guessing AGP for sure, as getting a PCI-E card for that kind of money isnt likely.. I thought it was best to ask.. Also, what country are you in so we can give some useful links?

Since TurboGP says the limit is 100 pounds he might be from britain Smile The only mid-range solution for the agp bus right now is the nvidia 6600GT. You can get one for 170 euro here. ATI is still not delivering any mid range cards for the AGP bus and the 6600GT is faster than the 9800PRO.

Edit:

I just read that ATI has finally finished it's work on the realto bridge, but so far they only announce high end cards, screw them Evil or Very Mad

for around 100 quid you can get a geforce 6600, or a radeon 9600 xt, not really sure how much better the 6600 is, if you can stretch your budget a bit for 130 quid you can get a 9800 pro, a 6600 gt is 145 in komplett.co.uk

here's a review of both 6600 gt and 6600

After a quick look at Tomshardware for some benchmarks, that 6600 GT looks to be the decent option. Thanks for the help guys..
