Looking to add a graphics card rather than relying on the fairly feeble onboard graphics.

The motherboard is a GEFORCE6100PM-M2, which has a PCI express slot I can use.

Want to spend less than £60 if possible. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks Nick
Which ATI/AMD card is it? The link just took me to a language selection page on their website.

You want to spend less than £60?

First of all make sure your PSU (Power supply) is able to handle the new graphics card. Really you need a PSU of more than 400-500w.

You can get some bargains on Ebay if you look around for a graphics card. I bought a Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 640mb for £60 back in October on Ebay and while it isn't the best card around and it's around 2-3 years old now it is still a good card that can handle 3D well. Much better than my old Nvidia 7050 onboard chip did. I can play GP4 maxed out with no lag at all.
