graphics card advice Put an end to popups!

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and I was wondering if anyone had advice?

My box is a P4 2.8Ghz w/ 512Mb DDRRAM, and currently using a Geforce IV MX440 64Mb, which is a problem. I'm looking to spend a max of £70 but I could be persuaded upwards within reason... looking to be able to play the likes of Unreal Tournament 2004 with all or most of the settings on highest... not too worried about Doom III or any of the games coming out this year because we're getting an XBox2.

Any pointers? My preference is toward Nvidia btw.

Got spare money?

The currently best card in terms of performance to cost I think is the GF6600GT, it costs around €170 (117 GBP).
