Default 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.

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.
