    wouldnt call a £130+ card "budget" exactly, would have thought something like X700 to slot in there :confused:

    The make of the card with the X1800XT doesnt make a great deal of difference really

    an ATI 6600GT?
    hmm

    Although i fail to see the point of seperating graphics categories into ATI and nVidia. User preference shouldn'y come into it when someone is after the best they can get for the money.

    Whoops. I'm so like half asleep.
    Surely a X800GTO is cheap enough, you can get a Powercolor one for £88 from OCUK!

    hmm, i was thinking the budget system would be a bit cheaper

    in that case:

    GTO/GTO2 for budget
    X1800XL middle
    X1800XT 512 top
