geforce 5200, definately not for games but cheap as anything and available on ocuk

thats agp and about 300 years old.


a 6200 or 6200TC should fit the bill, damm cheap and has some nice features too, try to get the passive models.

Are you going for amd or intel?

am2 is amds new socket. *slap*
and i dont think there are any am2 mobos with the 6100 chipset.

cool, thanks all

Also, If I was prepared to spend a bit more would the 6800 or 6600 be the obvious choice?

if you want something a bit better then if you want ati

x1600pro

or if nvidia

7600gs/gt

but if your not gaming neither are worth it.
will there be any issues with running programs like Photoshop & Indesign on a cheaper card?
