Recommend a Graphics Card for £40?

I'm thinking of buying one of the AMD bundles from here on OC and I want an inexpensive PCI-e graphics card to go with it. I don't game and will use it mostly for browsing the net and watching TV/films so I'm looking for something in the £40 area.
Can anyone recommend the best one to get?

Thanks
 
Seconded, but TurboCache is horrible as it leeches from system memory. With a budget of £40 I would look into buying a second-hand 6600GT or X800GT.
 
The 256mb "supporting" 6200TC cards usually have 64mb of their own video RAM, so wouldn't be too bad - another choice might be the 7300LE (3D Fuzion?) for about £35 I think.... I think they have plenty of their own memory. Considering the OP doesn't game, there's no point in going for anything faster, and would probably be better to get something new (i.e. warranty purposes).

Doesn't have onBoard graphics e.g. NVIDIA GeForce 6100/6150 :confused: Because that will be good enough if not gaming :cool:
 
The 7300GT in review was running at 500/700, which is well over the standard speeds for a 7300GT.

The model at OcUK is running at 400/700 and costs £58.69

It's an excellent budget card, but I doubt if you'll find that Inno3D 256MB hugely factory overclocked 7300GT for £40.
