    I like this ATI Radeon HD 3850 at £50 too, just not sure if it will fit into your machine. It will depend on whether you have used up all of your PCI slots, as you may need to keep the one above the AGP slot empty in order for this card to fit.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    i would go for the 3450 mainly becuase we do not know what the PSU is like and the 3850 requires extra power than can be supplied through the AGP port ok it is not as powerful but it should be enough for the job i would hope

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Stuttering motion on non-HD? Then more likely the problem is with the software. Even my netbook can a good portion of HD movies. There are many faster video players that are FREE.

    Try to download
    DivX codec
    http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack
    and Media player classic

    First install the DivX codec. Selecting ONLY the H.264 codec
    Then start media player classic (no installation needed). Go to Options->External Filters. Click add filter. Select DivX H.264 decoder and OK.

    See if the movie plays.
