What's the best GFX card.....

... for a Core2 Duo 2 Ghz with 2GB RAM (running XP Pro)

Budget of about £50.

I'm used to Mac hardware, having been away from the PC build rat race for a few years, so I don't really know what's the kit to have.

Purpose will be for gaming - nothing too tasking - City of Heroes / Guild Wars / CS Source .... that kind of thing.

TIA

One of the cheaper ATi HD48x cards will do the job, but £50 is not enough. Budget £60-70. They are very capable cards n quick.

Best Graphic card i would say to get in your price range is an ATI Radeon HD 4670...Or if you can stretch your budget a bit more a HD4830...Or you can look at the Nividia range but i think they are hyped up alot the time as being the best for graphic cards..But i much prefer the ATI...
