    cheap PCI-E graphics card

    Need to order a cheapo PCI-E, budget about £30-35.

    Don't really want any crippled system memory sharing ones, any recomendations.

    No games will be played on this machine

    This:
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=490928 has 256Mb memory, so although it has Turbo Cache it's unlikely you'll ever use system memory if your not gaming.

    Otherwise:
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=127833 is in your price range.

    Have a look at the 6200 from Asus : http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=370153. Fantastic card for around your budget.

    What will the cards be used for? That will help us help you. For £30 - £35, new cards will include some form of memory sharing which will be up to you to enable or not as the case may be.
