Have you got a PCI-E slot too?

If so, this is a good card for £55:

That card I posted seems really good spec for the money. If I was only wanting to pay £55 I'd get one of those. Will be OK for gaming in the near future too.

Just have a look on OCUK and ebuyer and read reviews on cards in your price range. The one I originally posted is proably the best you'll get in the £40-£60 bracket.

PCI-e x1 or x16 slot? They are very different and you need to get the right card, otherwise it won't fit.

If you have AGP as you said earlier, then I expect you have x1, but the only ways to find out are open up your case and take a look, or look up your mobo on the manufacturer's website and see what it says.

If you ave x16, then this is a pretty good card, and at a slightly lower price now that it's not current or next gen.
