new agp card

[sirrus]

hi all

my old rad 9800 gc has died and im after something to replace it untill i get a new pc next year. i was looking at the gainward bliss gf 7800 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-030-GW

is there any need to spend that kind of money for a stop gap card or can any of you recomend another agp ?
all i need is something to keep me playing BF2142 untill i upgrade, i have up to £250.

my spec is
p4 3.2
1gig of memory
asus icg7-g mobo
550watt psu

Thanks

Go for the x1950 here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-004-GC
Due in stock this week, and is cheaper and reported to perform better than the 7800gs.

I'd get a 7600 GT, and save the rest for a new rig. Much more than that on a P4 system and you'll get diminishing returns...
