id go for a radeon 9600pro if your on a budget, should be able to pick a decent version of it for around the £100 mark, although if a nvidia card is being used at the moment, the transition between the two normally causes a few problems and the best thing to do is a format, if thats not a option then a fx5600 or 5700 should suffice
Just a quick note to the guys at thunder-works to say hi, im KevBaz im working on the Falklands War mod for operation flashpoint, you have a link to us on your site which we are most greatfull for, and i would just like to wish you all the best for this project.
:) cheers
