I need a new graphics card. My old 64MB Radeon 8500 can't cope anymore,
however my budget is somewhat limited! I think a nice new 6600 GT is called
for. Who can recommend an AGP 6600 GT with DDR3 memory for as close to £100
as possible (under would be better!). Budget is the priority, bundleg games
and software are not really of interest.

about 43 €, and i wouldnt need anything faster. but if you looking
for something better, then, take some more expensive GeForce FX...

Sorry, been away for the weekend. Intentions for the card are normal 2d work
+ gaming, so I am after the most power for the money, but I'm on a tight
budget. I would like to be able to play games such as Area51 and various car
racing simulations at a decent resolution. My radeon 8500 struggles with
some games (Area 51 for example) even down at 800x600. I read a recent
magazine review and saw that you get a lot of card for your money with a
6600 GT, but if there are cheaper cards that will run these games at least
at 1024x768, then they will do??? I have done a bit of research and found
numerous comparison tables, but they all seem to compare cards of the same
era with games from the same era, so I have no idea how my 8500 would
compare with the latest cards. Are there any comparison tables that actually
compare old with new??
