"Graphics card help"

Recently upgraded my computer (thanks for all the help guys) and want to finish it off buy upgrading the graphics card too.

Got an asus motherboard running and athlon 2600+, with 512 mb ram. And basically want a graphics card to match the increased performance!

I really don't want to spend excessively and i would put my budget at about 130-140 quid, maybe a tenner or so more for a great deal.

Been having a look about but not sure what to go for.

I saw the GEforce 5600 256 mb ram, agp 8 card which looked good.

any thoughts?

thanks

If your looking to play Half Life 2 - nVidea cards are not the path to go for i'm afraid.

Get a Sapphire 9600PRO from eBuyer - Its about £135 I believe - Good card at a good price
