I'm looking to get a new graphics card to improve on my 16-35 FPS on CS  .....Can anone reccomend a graphics card that would suit my PC and up the performance? Thanks  (I wouldn't have a clue where to begin looking). The connection is PCI I think in my HD.
Spec:
AMD Sempron Processor
3000+
1.81GHz, 960 MB of RAM
Physical address Extension
Processor : FeForce 6100
Video BIOS Version: 5.51.22.28.10
IRQ: 18
Bus: Integrated
Memory: 256 MB
ForeWare Version: 81.85
plug and play monitor on nvidia GeForce 6100
(I don't have a clue which one of these are needed so I've put down everything I could find  )
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

I knew I forgot to put something down ... Would say £80-£100+ .. but wouldn't know whether that's not enough or too much for graphics cards... just through a few up at me

Cooper. Can you please confirm if you have a free AGP, or PCI-E (or PCI) slot fo the card. You mentioned having 960MB of ram, this indicates that your current graphics uses system memory.
The Geforce 6100 is an integrated chip on some Nforce motherboards with a PCI-E 16X slot available (happy days). Do you know the actual motherboard model?

Great Tool Dave
Thanks for the suggestions 8ilbo, will loo into them.
Gmar, my current graphics I'm pretty sure does use system memory, although I checked and I'm pretty sure I have a slot for a Graphics card (A slot with PCI express written underneath it). On that tool it says my motherboard model is k8NF4G-SATA2 . All other info is in the screenshot below.

Thanks for that Scorched, will look into that one, I'll wait till tomorrow to see if I buy it or not. It looks excellent to me, and seems to be exactly the same as the ones posted further up, except cheaper... EBAY FTW
