I don't know much about this stuff so I need help.
I want a graphics card for windows 7, and i want quite good speed/graphics on the computer.
However, my motherboard, which is a Xenon4, only has PCI slots
My computer is a HP Pavillion t191.uk
My Chipset is i845G
I have 3 PCI and 1 AGP.
The Xenon4 Motherboard specifications are found here - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...name=c00019945.
What Graphics card under £45 should I get?

Not possible on AGP, and not possible for £45 either.

What are you trying to do with the PC? There's no point spending £45 on a new graphics card if the game you want to play still won't run on it.

wow all of those were harsh...yet true. sorry to say, don't worry though i had to deal with a pent 1 till 2006, with it's spacious 6gb hdd, and "i could write this essay in pen faster!" speeds. (2006 i upgraded to the infamous linuxbox.) and have yet to go back to intel, right now i upgrade to the latest stuff 3very 1-2years...however i still have that 6gb hdd, don't use it anymore (still works though 0.0)

yes but does it still work? lol, mine even still has a modified version of xp on it so i use it to install my upgrades through vista and win7. (seriously have to buy an acutal install installing 3 os's to get to my win7 sux)(bc have to install the actual xp from the modded one then vista then win7 for some reason if i don't do the first step vista says i don't have a valid os) 105mb rodime though...wonder if it could be sold to a museum for some $$ :P

Ah the good old 'my hardware's older than yours' competition :P
I always lose this one, haha, and ddp usually wins :P
My first PC was a relatively modern Pentium 3 450 with Windows 98SE and 128MB of RAM, and the hard disk was Gigabytes in double figures!

No but I've got a TRS-80. the last time i hooked it up it killed my tape collection which was about 1999 its been setting in my attic for 11 years.

A Clone turbo doesn't really mean anything, Who made the Turbo clone would be more appropriate.

I just want it because nothing on windows 7 seems to work on it (e.g. google earth, 3Dvia etc). Is there any way a driver update can fix this, if so where from?

according to hp uk, your computer was setup for xp as there is no drivers from vista nor win7.
