Need Graphics Card

Ok I'm in the process of setting up one of my machines for Pru to use at LAN. But I'm stuck for a graphics card.

It needs to be "good enough". And not a lot else.

The power supply I have is a reasonable quality 400W job so it can't run anything too powerful. But if it can run our usual list of games on low - medium settings at 1680x1050 then that's good enough for the purpose.

I was looking at this sort of thing but I'm not sure if it'l do the job.

One review claims it can handle Portal and KF on "pretty much max" settings".

Anyone else have any thoughts. Alternatively, if you happen to have an 8800GT or something similar spec that you wouldn't mind parting with then I am prepared to offer up to £40 for it.

On an alternative note, it may be that my second card works just fine and it's me who is the retard for failing to plug the CPU power back in after I've been tinkering.

Time to benchmark.
