In search of new graphics card.

i'm going to buy a new graphics card because my obboard graphics chip
is no good.
However, I'm looking for a fairly low-budget card, which'll support
Directx9 and have at least 64MB memory. Preferably 128.

The problem is my motherboard.

(there)

Which cards will this support which'll be fairly decent and not too
slow?

Thanks.
Will

Re: In search of new graphics card.

Can you give examples of what games and/or programs you'll want to run with
this card? And post the rest of your system specs too, it'll help pick the
best card.

Re: In search of new graphics card.

I'm hoping to run programs such as Flash 8, Photoshop and some fairly
newish games, that require at least 64-bit graphics.

I'm also running at 2.53ghz with 1gb ram (992mb using my onboard
graphics card)

Re: In search of new graphics card.

Depends on how much money I get in the next month or so.
But I'm not expecting to be spending much more than £125 (about $250,
prolly a bit less)

Ideally it'd be around £60 so I can still buy my new speakers too =P
But I don't mind going over.

Re: In search of new graphics card.

Be careful, I just went through the same process only to find out that the
card I bought (NVIVIA 5600 Ultra, 128MB) requires at least a 300 watt power
supply! My PC is a Dell and uses a custom ATX Power Supply connector so I
needed a new PS and adaptor to connect the PS to the MOBO.
