Hi guys

The mrs has a AMD 3200+ Sempron with a crap mobo with on board GFX and 1 GB of generic PC3200 RAM

What would be the best PCI-E GFXc ard to buy for her for around the £45 mark, only needs it for Sims 2

Thanks
 
Geforce 7300 GT would do the job - try stretching to the £50ish mark for a 7300GT with GDDR3 and 8 pipelines.

Would play pretty much anything, including SIMS 2
 
I was looking around on famous auction site at second hand cards. I ended up getting a 6600 (basic) 256MB for 41 inc postage. The others I saw around that budget were x550, x300, fx6200, 7300 (varying sorts) and x600pro. If you can, the best card to pickup would be an 6600 series card, and keep your eye for the occasionally bargain cheap x800/6800 series card.
 
Yea i have the 7300gt and it plays everything like a beauty

its like £80 or something
