thats a x8 agp board, so that narrows the search somewhat, but it also means your choice is lessened and you have to pay more for the same tech.

i will start with this one,
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductIn...roductID=589470
now i know its above your budget but it is the best gpu on a agp right now, it will give you as good a gaming experianceas you are likly to get and is worth the money. its only downside is a lack of dx10 support.

for £50 you will be hard pushed to get a good gaming card, if i was you i would get a 1650xt or a 7600gt but these will rush you around a ton and these will give you around 60% of the performance of the link above.

£53
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductIn...roductID=540214
£48

these aren't really designed for gaming tho.

check this interactive guide(you want to look for those marked AGP) for some real figures on performance, as the facts dont lie.
