Ok, my fiancee has an old computer which she uses for internet, watching films & email.
I wanted to upgrade it a bit so that i can play games on it, but unfortunately it has an AGP motherboard, onboard GFX & 256MB ram.

Ive just bought a BFG Geforce 7600GS 512MB AGP GFX card & am looking at 2GB DDR 400 PC3200 ram as well.
I got the BFG 7600GS for £23, is this a good card & is that a good price ?
Im not looking to run the latest games on highest resolutions, just games like PES, Company Of Heroes, Half Life 2 etc.

Im unsure what this motherboard goes down as when trying to look it up on google, because when i use Everest it says :-
Motherboard Name - Biostar P4M80-M4/P4M800-M7A/P4M800Pro-D1/P4M800 Pro-M7/P4M800 Pro-M7 Combo.
Whereas, On the motherboard it says P4M800 775.

Can anyone recommend decent memory for this set up at a half decent price ?
Preferably off ebay or Scan.

Below is a summary off Everest:-
Thanks
