> How much is the reccomended Graphics Card?
Radeon 9000 series start from £40 up to £290 depending on how much power you want. Anything over £125 should do it.
> FM mate do you have ut2004 by any chance
Nope, only online PC game I have now is Diablo, and I haven't played that in the last 6 months. Ever since EverQuest came out, funnily enough.
