Ah! Youve changed the picture! When I posted your avatar took up half the screen (I think you had your sig in the avatar slot)

Go to the home page, click "my account" then "your info". Put the link to the sig in the signature box. Then on the home page click on "forums". On the page that appears you will see a link just above the topics which says "profile". Go there, put the link in the sig box and scroll down and click "submit". Your sig should now show.

Well I have just followed my own instructions to upload the picture you see below.
Did you get rid of the imageshack bit at the front, the bit that carries the url tag??

"[URL=http://imageshack.us" This bit and the "[/url" at the end. They cause problems.

I have the card that Chaos has suggested. Its a wicked card and I haven't clocked it and won't. "If it's not broken, don't try fixing it", is a motto that helps me a lot but I have gone from a 6600le to a 8800gts so I have seen a huge increase in performance and BF2 is almost a new game. I will probably gain 10% by clocking it but would rather keep the card's warrantee as I know I wouldn't have the cash to replace it there and then if it broke.

I've had a new pc for 2 months approx and so far the Ram and Mobo have been replaced due to breakage but the card seems fine. Be careful though which card you get as you may need to upgrade your power supply and maybe other things. I got this card in my machine so that it was dx10 ready and could play new titles such as Call of Duty 4 and Crysis it plays both demo's fine. I have 2 gigs of ram and quad core processor running on Vista 32, if that helps.

Thanks... my problem is the age of my PC, I've had it about 4 years. its a P4 2.8ghz with 1gig ram, running on XP. the card in it at the mo isn't fit to go in an Atari ST.
