Default Wich one?

I am gonna buy a new graphics card. My queston is, what do you think that I need to buy? Pls note that my budget is €320, not a cent more! I was thinking of the ATI Radeon 9800 non pro. Plz help me!

My current specs: AMD XP 1700 + @ 1,46 Ghz 512MB RAM Geforce 4 mx 440 64MB Sound Blaster Live Windows XP professional

You thought right. R9800 non pro is very good bang for the buck and can be found for less than €300.

It should take a load of the CPU anyway, poor old GF4MX.
R9800 vanilla is indeed the spot.
