Have you locked the icons?
Anyway... here's a couple of possible suggestions for you...
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149296 - Radeon 9250 128MB AGP @ £27.12
(bit pricey if you ask me)
http://tinyurl.com/ynqmp4 - NVidia Geforce FX 5200 128MB AGP @ £21.56
from Aria
There's a few ATI Radeon & NVidia Geforce cards on eBay too from about a
fiver. Saying that maybe someone on the list might have something
kicking around.
