best limited budget card

Hi all, Im a poor student who does when not writing essays like to play the occasional fps. Im currently using a 256MB x550 that is unusable for all but the most basic of purposes, im fed up of not being able to run new releases however there is a problem. I can only stretch to about £65 for a new card what is the best I can do for that, is there even any point in replacing the x550 with that small a buget? im not really worried about visuals, just want to be able to achive somthing playign in games like battlefield 2142 and stalker. the rest of my system is an athlon x2 3800+ 1GB RAM, 160GB HD. any comments appreciated.

I presume however your looking for that in US dollars rather than pounds, it converts to $128.856.

Yeah, it's a toss up between the 7600GT and the X1650XT. 7600GT is better if you play games that uses OpenGL like Doom 3 and Quake 4. I believe STALKER is an OpenGL game.

If you are looking for a DirectX 10 videocard, then you can buy the GeForce 8500GT. However, word on the street is that it trades blow for blow with the 7600GS (slower than the 7600GT).

u can get this card for a better performance
X1950GT
about 130 $ - 115$ after MIR

it can performe better than x1650xt or 7600gs

Have gone ahead and purchased a 7600GT based on everyone recomendation. thanks everyone for your advice

dident even see a 7900gs when looking as I dident look above £70, have just had a quick look and havent been able to find one (not looking very hard) below £88, the 7600GT ive ordered was only £65, 7900gs just wasent in my buget
