Default Advice re Macro lens?

Hi all need some advice. I have a Nikon D70 and want to buy a macro lesns. Have some funds about £200-250 and had been looking at the Sigma 50mm F2.8 EX DG Macro.

Having looked at lenses in general there is a liitle confusion as to what magnification there is. I keep seeing comments re 1:1 ratio and 1:2 or 1:39. I assume the 1:1 is the best as this will be lifesize?

However Iwas wanting to get in close and see more details i.e more magnification!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
