Hello,
I have recently updated the kids pc to an Athlon XP 2500 with 1Gb of Pc
3200 Ram, running on an Asus A7V8X-X m/board. My question is, in your opinion(s)
what would be a good graphics card for this system at a reasonable price £70 or
less, in order to make system more game friendly?

For that price, you could get a 9600XT or a 5700.

Not usre which is best, really... I'm an ATI man, myself, but not for
any particular reason.
