Hmmmm. Your old Geforce 4 is a lot better than my TNT Pro! Try UK parts http://www.ukparts.com/. They are very well priced.

If you look around you should be able to pick up an ATI 9800pro

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/connect3d_ati_graphics_cards.html#agx_2d0...

Connect3D ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB TV-Out/DVI - Retail (GX-005-CO)

Here is one its on offer at the moment.  My bro has one and its much better than my GF4ti 4600.  In 3Dmarks03 my GF4 scores about 1300 i think maybe a little less.  My bro's 9800pro scores 5500-5700.  He can max most things (Except clouds) and run 4x AA and 8xAF holding 25FPS.

They seem to be cheap as the new gen cards are coming out (well should be!!)
 

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!
