Something with 2/1.5g ram would be better though

Like?

6950. 580. 170. 480.
All out of your price range

It may be a negotiable price when it comes to the gfx..

In that case, the 6950 or the 480. 480 has a lot of heat and noise

Personally i would spend the extra and buy a card with atleast 1gig ram though.

Quadro FX Cards by NVIDIA are officially supported in most professional apps:

at 120 the fastest Nvidia card would be best as they co-write drivers with adobe (and the Quadro drivers are often very similar to the GeForce) although there are performance optimisations in Quadro drivers exlusively for Adobe's full suite.

Cheers for the advice

I recommend the gtx 460, the asus 768mb was going for about 114 quid? Nsure now but it shouldn't of changed too much
