Grpahics cards

[Swearwolf]

Helloooo
basically I really need a new graphics card. But my pc is quite old... but I cannot afford a new one. Im looking to spend £40 ish on a new gfx card cos Im pretty desperate. I currently have a GeForce 400 MX (or something)

I'll get specs of my pc 1 sec..

1.5GHz AMD processor
Windows xp
1024mb RAM
250w PSU

thanks :D

Wow bad PSU, which slot AGP or PCI-E

Is your case slimline, if so you'll need a low end gfx card.. etc

[Swearwolf]

my case (tower) is as wide as a cd drive (lol)
and aida32 says 3 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 CNR so I guess AGP lol

Oh yeah. If you buy the card you said you want, reviews say it has trouble with XP

Yeah i saw that, one says had problems, whereas someone else said it was fine. If its a problem I can install vista and use it :P But I just have XP as i prefer it.
