Is the card for playing BF2? If not, what games does the card need to cope with. You might struggle to get a card for £50 - £60 that'll play BF2, but I'm not an expert.

yes it is m8
and it says it need 128 memory on the box and there are some cards for around this price for 50 or so pounds but like you im not sure if there going to run bf2

You also might want to look at the "Battlefield bible" on this site too, it gives a rough idea of what type of card is best suited for playing the game.

That should do the trick.

But i would watch out for ATI drivers as they can be a bit iffy.

My other card was a geforce fx5700le 128mb, cost me £50 from pcworld, i wouls struggle to play bf2.

also depends on yer CPU, if your running an athlon 64 or P4/HT you'll have extra grunt to make up for poor gpu performance, not much - but it helps...
