Hi

currently i have a Nvidia geforce 7300le 256mb pci-e graphics card and i am wanting to improve my graphics or upgrade so to speak.

my motherboard is a ASUS M2N-VM DVI, PSU 350, 4GB Memory, AMD Dual 64 bit processor (cant remember speed as not at my pc).

i am wanting to upgrade to improve my vista score as well as says 3.1.

i am stuck to which new graphics card to buy, and without having to upgrade my psu as well, what card is good at the moment to go for that i wont have problems with and what my psu will take.

im wanting to spend about £35 in total, also it has to have a vga or a adapter with the card, since there is many makes from ASUS, MSI, PNY, etc from gefore 8800 to 9800 gt gs its all a little confusing to say the least.

the pci-e in this motherboard i believe is profile 1.0 not 2.0.

many thanks for reading and any help would be grateful.
 
£35 pounds is a choaking the goat when it comes to gcs, how many watts does ur psu have?
well if its good enough then id go for this:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-202-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=708
im suprised tbh, gr8 price for what its capable of!

Thats a v good suggestion, if your psu has a 6-pin connector than this would be nice

Would this be any better

Asus ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB DDR2 HDMI PCI Express 2.0 - EAH4350 SILENT-DI-512MD2-A Graphics Card

I believe the performance between those two cards is pretty much identical
