Need a cheap graphics card.

[Mazza]

Heeeeeeey.

Need help finding a cheap graphics card to buy online in the UK. Just something for like £30-£40 is probably enough, my PC sucks anyway. Some of you will remember the thread I posted about my graphics card breaking, well now I need a new one :P

Here's the PC I'm using: http://www.shuttle.eu/_archive/older/en/sn41g2.htm

Got another PC but it's just as bad as that :P

Looks like the power supply is only 250W so I don't know what graphics card that can run but it has a geforce 2 in there at the minute that doesn't even run WoW, so anything is better than that. I managed to OC the CPU from 1.6 to 2.1 at least. Oh I put 1gig of crappy ram in there from my other PC too. Will be getting a new PC early next year so I just need a graphics card to hold me over until then. Cheers.

Older Nvidia cards. With those 2 cards you could still play the mmorpgs out right now without any problems. You won't be able to run new single player games on high though.

How about that?

Hmm that's PCI-E though, I think my PC only has AGP and PCI. Is there a difference between PCI and PCI-E?

In terms of GPUs.... a gigantic one.

OK well scratch that card then, I need to find an AGP or PCI one.

Wow, seems most places don't even sell AGP or PCI cards anymore, and if they do you get less for your money than PCI-E. Hope someone will help me look, thanks.

All I could find ^
Bit more than I wanted to pay though because I won't have it for long

Lol, it's a big difference. I'll provide an image for you.


You can see it shows you the type on the motherboard to.
