New graphics card

Hi,
I am looking to buy a relatively cheap graphics card. My current Geforce
2mx-400 doesn't really cut the mustard and needs an upgrade.
My budget is between £45-70.

What card would people go far - I am not bothered with extras like TV-Out.
Also which Manufacturer - ATI or Nvidia?

Also prices would be helpful & any links to UK vendors only.
Thanks

"So, Mr Slumpy you *really* are the perpetual comedian, aren't you ?" I
threw back my head and roared with laughter as *** HAWK continued:

Then stop using that domain name in your addy. Not only are you
appropriating someone else's property but they're getting spammed as a
result.

Try a 'munge' http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html

OP: In other words, when munging your email address, be sure to pick a
domain that isn't valid!


-WD

is that better?
i don't know - i didnt realise someone had the domain, i thought it was
obvious (eg ignore)
but i changed it now.
tell me if u object.

Those are not the other words that I would use. It's not a good idea to
use anything that even resembles a domain name, valid or not. Even a
seemingly ridiculous domain name may/can/will be registered at some
time. Try for yourself: make up some domain name and check here to see
if it's registered: http://www.canufly.net/~georgegg/dns/

And adding NOSPAM or another phrase is not foolproof either. I wouldn't
be at all surprised if a spambot stripped the word 'invalid' off your
addy, for instance.

No, that is not better. You are STILL using a valid
domain (mail.com). You MUST use 'INVALID' as the
TLD, ie. in place of the .COM - nosharemail@mail.INVALID
