Is this a good PC for £330?

smokedog · 12 Jul 2007 at 12:30

Core™ 2 Duo E6600 Processor (2.4GHz,1066MHz,4MB cache)
Windows Vista™ Home Basic - English
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
256MB ATI® Radeon® X1300 Pro PCI Express graphics card
320GB (7200rpm) Hard Drive
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Integrated 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio

As title and I know the graphics card is a bit rubbish. What £100'ish graphics card should I replace it with?

Too late it was a pricing mistake from one of the big PC manufactures. Not sure if I'm even allowed to mention the name.

I guess a Radeon x1950 would be the best card for your price range, But maybe some more knowledgeable people can confirm.
