New Video card
After a new video card for around £50. Check out my usual suppliers page of cards and let me know what you think. I was looking at the Radeon 7500LE or the GEF 4 440MX. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
MY USUAL SUPPLIER PS just head to the video card list in the drop-down menu. thanks  Mackem

What are you upgrading from?
What do you use the computer for mostly? Those video cards are recommended for gaming. Cricket

Can't you wait a little while you save more money to afford a Radeon 9500 or at least the 9100?
If you are going to be playing high intensive 3D games those cards won't help you. You need a GF4 Ti4200 at the very least. The MXs were designed for office use, they don't even support nVidia's own nFiniteX II engine. Now, if you *really must* buy at this time, I think the MX is your best bet but don't expect much from it.

for gaming, your going to waste your money, those cards wont even run GTA3 at an acceptable speed, so they arent going to run any future games well if they only get more gfx card intensive, you really need to get a more powerful card for games
