Hello,
Im looking to buy a gfx card under £100, any suggestions?

Ones I found are: 6800 LE, 6600 GT, 9800 Pro, X800GT (PCI-E)

But I can only get AGP ones or it would mean a new motherboard too

if you had a pci-e capable mobo i'd go for a SAPPHIRE Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB PCI-Express as its 12 pipelines can be unlocked to 16 and with a small bit of clocking it will beat any gfx card out there (bar the nvidia 7800 GTX which it DOES beat in some benchmarks) ... not bad for £150

Other AGP based solutions are: ATI Radeon X700 or a 9800XT (if you can find one, you may find a bargin) or a GeForce 6800.

If you had 200 notes I'd go for the ATI Radeon X800 XL tho

IMO i'd wait and get a new mobo (PCI-E) and get an ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB running at 625core/1500mem

two of them puppies running with crossfire should be 'interesting'
