I upgraded to the leadtek 7600GT, it's a bit more money that your budget, but as far as AGP goes i'd say it's your only route, unless you can find a seller on Members Market with a 6800GT or equiv at sub 100..

Great, and what would you suggest?

ditch the pentium for AMD64 or C2D, socket 939 can be had for next to nothing these days, C2D for a fair lump more, plus you'd need new ram as well

Get either a 6800GT or GS (try and unlock the pipes) with a decent heatsink, and overclock. I did that and the difference from a 6600 GT is very noticeable.

Performance

The X1600XT from ATi ?

If you can push to £180 then the Ati x1950Pro is probably the card you want, but its almost double your budget.

Edit : the 7600GS from BFG is a better deal and comes in at £105 incl VAT right here at OCUK, I checked out the benchmarks and the 7600GS really seems to be the best bang for buck in your price range.
