those games all use opengl and ATI are crap for that so knock them on the head.
G4 ti 4200 is a good un but if you can go a lil higher go for the €236 128mb one

From the options there i'd go for the gf4 ti4200. There is not a huge difference between the 64mb and the 128mb. I advise you to look at a few benchmarks for them cards on the game that you will be playing to see which one you'd prefer/need.

thanx guys i decided 2 get the Asus V8420 GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB DDR

i just noticed that the gf4 ti4200 is AGP *4 and my motherboard is *1 i just assumed that it will just slow down to my motherboards speed right????

I'd be very careful about that... it may do some damage.

I can't remember, unfortunately.
