Although its a little more expensive I would go for this

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=27100&source=googleps

Some details on it:
- GeForce 8600 GT core running at 540MHz
- 512MB DDR2 Memory running at 800MHz
- 128-Bit Memory interface
- Shader Model 4.0
- Memory Bandwidth: 22.4GB/s
- Designed For Extreme HD Gaming
- Nvidia Pure Video Technology
- Dedicated Video processors free the GPU Shaders to run 3D applications
- Dual dual-link DVI supports two 2560 x 1600 resolution displays
- HDCP Enabled!!
- SLI ready – Upto 2x the performance of a single GPU (Available on with future driver release)
- True High Dynamic Range Rendering Support – Based on Open EXR technology
- World's first unified architecture supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 10
- Built for Microsoft® Windows® Vista™

I think that the extra £10 is worth the amount of power compared to a 7600 gfx card.

I'd have to agree with 6 on that one - the 8600 packs the most punch in that price range

Plus the total including (1-3 day) postage is £43.35 which is pretty cheap

Lame, scratch that last one, didn't notice you wanted AGP (Another Gay Product )

tbh the one you found is the best I can find after a quick scout around, will have another look tomorrow afternoon when I have handed in my work for uni
