Hi Peeps

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card so I can play a mixed set of games like Crysis, Company of Heroes 2 etc. My computer specs are listed below and i'm looking for a card that will work on Windows Vista.....

CPU
AMD Phenom X4 9500
Agena 65nm Technology
RAM
3.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 333MHz (5-5-5-15)
Motherboard
Acer RS780HVF (AM2)

My friend suggested: Asus 1GB ATi Radeon HD 6670. But it seems that this card is only designed to work with Windows 7 and above, not below.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out? Budget of £20 - £100

Thanks for the info that helped me a lot. Because of Christmas I've had to lower my budget to £60. So i'll have to get the Asus 1GB ATi Radeon HD 6670 instead. Is it true with Graphic cards that the 1gb memory runs better then a 2gb?

If it lower end like 6670, 2GB is useless, so take 1GB version and save some $.
If you can buy something with more power, than take 2GB version.
Whatever gpu you take it'll be big improvement.
