need recommendation for a new card
Hello,
I've got myself a Vostro 200 MT dirt cheap and would like to put in a new graphics card. There are restrictions as the PSU inside the Dell probably wont have a 6 pin pci-e connector so I'll have to get a converter (molex to pci-e), but an alternative would be a fanless card.
This would be used primarily for web browsing for my other half but i may be forced onto it when she's on my main so a card that would cope with cs:s (yes some people still play it :) and WoW.
And something under £100 would be fantastic :)
so any suggestions??

An HD3850 256mb will be more than enough for your needs:
HIS HD 3850 Pro 256MB 256bit GDDR3 Dual DVI TV HDCP PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer
Ebuyer have a cheaper one for£91 which seems to be not in stock. I think it is a shorter Triplex HD3850 card. It maybe back on the site in the next few days as Ebuyer tend to remove the listings for items out of stock!
Another alternative is a 8600GT
Leadtek PX8600GT TDH 512MB GDDR2 Dual DVI TV Out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer

Aria have the 3850 in 256MB and 512MB flavours see links
ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB PCI-E2.0 - Aria Technology
ATI Radeon HD 3850 256MB - PCI-E2.0 - Aria Technology
I leave it to you to decide if the additional memory is worth the £15 or not. What resolution will you be playing games at? Anything under 1680*1050 you will probably be okay with the 256MB version but for £15 I would personally get the 512MB.
