GPU for £50-£60

I'm looking for an AGP card to replace my awful Geforce4 Mx440, but don't want to spend more than £60. Any ideas? Thanks.

ATi Radeon 9600 Pro

Ok, thanks. Anyone know where to get the best price on one is? Also, I read that this card won't work with nForce 2 chipset motherboards, as it causes a hardware conflict. Is this true?

EDIT: would this card be worth me spending about £15 more?

Hmm so a 6600 non gt would be better than a 9600 pro? Never thought about that.
