NVidia tend to be a better quality card that ATI IMHO, and I'll always recommend buying NVidia. A 6600GT is a good card to get for £88 (256mb) or £76 (128mb).

Nvidia 6600gt - Graphic Cards - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at NexTag - Price - Review

If you want to stick with ATI, have a look at this card for £83:

Sapphire X1650 Pro AGP Graphics Card - technical specification review

I'm assuming your current card is AGP and not PCI-Express beceause of your current card.

Madmonkey: Why not get the 7600GT better performance and it is roughly the same price?

Yep, would be nice, but I don't think we can use PCI-Express here? nosocarey, do you know if you have AGP or PCI-Express on your motherboard?
