============================================
As you can see I have a "SiS 661FX" on board graphics card.
I would like to upgrade this graphics card to something decent costing around £30-£40 (around $50). I do not need one that has TV-out or anything extremely haut and professional, just something good enough to play Unreal Tournament 2004 smoothly and graphicaly look impressive (prefrably Nvidia make).
I have done research myself on a few cards (using www.aria.co.uk, www.dabs.co.uk and www.ebuyer.co.uk so if you could point a graphics card out from one of those sites it would be greatly helpful!) , although I don't understand what the AGP or PCI and the terminology orientated around graphic cards mean - even though I am fairly computer literate.
