Upgrade Question

[Cap4152]

Hi guys,

First post on the forums....need some advise about upgrading my current graphics card.

My rig at the moment hasn't been upgraded for a while so is really struggling with recent releases. Current rig,

E2200
Asrock 4CoreDual (AGP and PCIE)
2Gb Carsair Ram
Radeon X1950XT (AGP)
Antec Neo Power 480w

I'm looking to get a new graphics card for under the £100 mark but am unsure which would be compatible with the motherboard as from what I know it has a cut down PCIE socket??

Also concerned about the PSU as it's only 480w.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I think it is DDR2 but would need to check.

I've got a 22" monitor but obviously my current card is restricting what I can game at. I usually set it as high as possible until the game becomes unplayable. Would want to aim for somewhere around 1280x1024 or widescreen equivalent.

This will more than likely just be a short-medium term upgrade cause I know the whole rig needs upgrading really (probably end of this year)

Thanks

Just looking at the ASUS 4850, seems like a bargain for the price.....would this run OK with my MB and PSU?

Thanks
