i have a 128 card which runs doom/hl2 on max settings. Its not necessarily what memory the card has. the 6600GT is only 128 but its a high end mid range card. He never mentioned playing any of the new games so unless he plans to buy new games in the future, he wont need to have a 266mb card or any of the higher mid range cards. I ran the games he mentioned fine on a Gforce 4mx440, obviously he should get a better card than that. But if you plan to only play these games he will only need a card costing under £100 - a 9700 should be more than adiquate for his needs.
