I am currently running with an asrock k7s41 motherboard with an AGP slot. i have taken an interest in a couple of games, (e.g football manager 2009 & tower simulator) sadly my 64 meg onboard graphics doesn't like these games, and spits messages like "need pixel shading 1.0) or (can't initialise graphics) i'm guessing my current graphics aint cutting it so i need some suggestions on cheap and cheerful AGP graphcs cards that will let me play the above mentioned games. Also feel free to offer any other useful info on the graphics issue, i am just learning about computers. P.s links to sellers in the uk if possible

It's probably going to be difficult to find a *new* agp card, I don't think they make 'em anymore, but you need at least a 128MB card to play one of the games (football manager 2009 system requirements) and at least 256MB to play the other (tower simulator gets pretty bad reviews from what I've seen). You might find one on Ebay or a closeout site or something, but I'd get as new a model as possible. I've heard the Geforce 6800 was a good one, I think. The last agp card I had was a Ti4200, but that's older than the supported cards for football manager. You also need at least a 1.4Ghz processor for those games.

If you're willing to spend the cash for something decent, there's this Radeon HD3650: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications... For a little less there's this GeForce 7600GS: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/pr... If you wanna get off as cheaply as possible, there's this GeForce 6200...it's not a great card but it's a huge improvement over your onboard graphics: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications...
