Default How good would this graphics card be?

Hi all
i`m thinking off buying a new graphics card, and am wondering if this graphics card http://www.mcmcomputers.co.uk/produc...oducts_id=2155 would be any good at playing games like microsoft flight sim.i think if would work with my computer not to sure though my specs are in my profile, i`m upgrade my mem to a gb.Any pictures of what it would/cold or most likely look like would be great aswell.Or so if you have any recoomedations please let me know don`t want to go over £50.

cheers

That card is not going to give very good graphics but it would probably run Flight Simulator 2004 not sure about X though.

That card is an AGP card, does your computer not support PCI Express. (Does it have a black socket above the white PCI sockets on the motherboard?)

Also, what are the rest of the specs of your current computer?

Then we can recommend you some good cards.

This is a better AGP slot based card.

What is your budget?

Here is a list of some of the best cards but they are a bit pricy
