Any recommendations for a sub £100 graphics card
Hi,
I`m building a cheap(ish) system as a sort of games/internet use for the living room but picking a video card is prooving difficult. Anybody recommend a £100 one with at least 64MB, must have Video Out to connect to 42" Rear Projection TV (S-Video or Composite. no chance of Component video I suppose?) so must be good quality output. Oh and I`m in the UK. TIA. Des. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.506 / Virus Database: 303 - Release Date: 01/08/03 |

Both PC Pro and Computer Shopper magazines have extensive reviews of
graphics cards this month. The MSI FX5600-VTDR 128MB (£125 inc VAT) gets the value award in one and the MSI GF FX5200 (£67 inc VAT) 128MB in the other. Otherwise get yourself down to W.H.Smith.

Thanks for the suggestion. Read the review and seems perfect for what I
want and not too much over budget so I`ve ordered one. Des. "Jonathan Eales" wrote in message ... Both PC Pro and Computer Shopper magazines have extensive reviews of graphics cards this month.
