Looking really for a range of options from circa £50 to circa £80-90. Not for me, but for an uncle who has the following;
Sempron 2800+
512mb DDR-400
(in an ASUS barebone)
Its got to be AGP, so was thinking possibly 6200-6600, x1300-x1600?
Cheers
Dave
oh and ideally from scan :)
Whats your uncle going to use it for?
Just internet and word processing etc get a 6200

Occasional gaming as well go for a 6600

More than that get a 6600GT

Good luck.
Hes been playing stuff like Prince of Persia and IGI2, not the latest games but reasonably demanding, though anything is likely to be a step up from the inbuilt graphics he's using atm :)

Might be worthwhile seeing if you can pick up a second hand 6800NU. Failing that, a 6600GT is your best bet.
Best to go for a 6600GT or see if you can pickup a second hand 6800GT on ebay(probably out of price range though).

a Radeon 9600Pro is a cheaper option...
Yes but also a generation older.Quote:

Nah, was gunna get the best card I could, but then overclock it for him, so i really want something with some headroom - but i'd also like a warrenty :)

I am more than satisfied with my 6600gt. Overclocked it seems more than up to a bit of punishment from games like fear and so on. Highly recommended for the price, got mine a few months ago for about 110 quid or so, was the gigabyte silentpipe one.
