Graphic upgrade for Packard Bell Istart 2310

[Leeds_mike]

Dear All,

I'm looking to buy a graphics card for my Packard Bell Istart 2310 (I currently have the useless SIS mirage 3 onboard graphics card).

I don't want to spend a lot as all I want it for is to play some older games (Rome TW, Medieval II etc.) and to improve performance with Vista.

I have a PCI x16 slot, can anyone suggest a suitable card for this purpose. I don't really have any ideas what I need or what my PC will handle.

Thanks in advance and if any more info is required just ask

Mike
