I don't play games (not sure if CBeebies online can be classed as games), only surfing and need a PCI-E graphics card.
Budget is < £50. Prefer a fanless card or one where I can disconnect the fan as the heatsink on it's own will suffice.
Recommendations please.
Edit: don't like half height cards. Just don't like the look of them.
That's a no brainer:

It only has 64mb memory and it's Turbo Cache.Quote:

But do I really need something as powerfull as I've listed compared to what you have recommended?
Thanks.
radeon 9550 try this gt a fan though
Surely the cheapest one will do? For the 6200 turn of the turbocache and just use the internal ram. Those other cards would be wasted.
Check out the today only offers at scan - they've got some really good deals on 6200 & 7300 series cards this weekend.

I can personally recommend the Leadtek 7300GT silent gfx card - awesome performance and under 50 notes !

If you use the computer for email and the web only, any of the cards will do - maybe even go second hand?
Thank you all for your help.
I managed to get an X550 off ebay for a tenner. Was about 10 miles away so picked it up.
Just have to check it works.
awesome deal, if only it had it had ddr3
