cheapish graphic card

[wijcc]

I have a amd althon64 2800+ system. Currently it is running with a Geforce 4 ti4200 128mb graphics card. I am thinking of replacing it with another but not a very expensive one. I roughily want to spend £100. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance guys

Leadtek GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-088-LT) for about £128

and

HIS ATI Radeon X1650 Pro ICEQ 512MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (RX1650P-AGP512ICEQ) (GX-063-HT) for about £94

The GeForce is faster but also more expensive

I presume you are looking for an AGP card ?
Unfortunately you get less for your money nowadays with AGP.
A 7600GS would be a nice step up from your current card & you should be able to get a silent one.
The 7600GT is quite a bit better but I don't know if you will be able to find an AGP version as cheap as £100.
Not sure about the ATI cards in this price range.

yeah it has to be a agp card sorry.

Well, it sounds like you're in line for a 8800 GTX, very reasonable!

Sorry, Just Joking.

PCIE: 7600 GT - Easy one that. Very good card for the money

AGP: I'd get the AGP version of it, but it is quite out of your budget (£140). A second hand 6800 GT would be a good bet.

will i see much difference in graphics quality from upgrading? I tend to play mainly rts (age of empires) or space shooter games (like freelancer type).
Thanks guys

You'll be able to turn the settings up higher yeah, if that is what you mean.

hunt around on the net for a 7600GST. its a 7800GS which is aptly named as it has the performance of a 7600GT for a lower price. cant remember too well but i think inno3d make them. look about
