Only one choice at the moment really, Radeon 9600XT.

Can't help with links though as I'm not in the U.K.

No way!

For 150 quid pick yourself up a Radeon 9800 pro for around that price. Much much better than a 9600XT.

Look at www.overclockers.co.uk, or www.microdirect.co.uk

If you can tell the difference on your supercomputer between a 9800Pro and a 9600XT, then you are better than the reviewers in the computer mags I read.

Anyway, the post said 150 max, doesn't mean you need to spend that!

The Radeon 9600XT is by far the best value chip.
