    is this a good deal??

    PNY VERTO GEFORCE 3 Ti500 64MB AGP - £122 (inc VAT)

    im not exactly the best judge of graphics cards, so any help would b useful.

    if the card aint any good, which do ya recommend??

    upgrading my pc soon, so want some killer grafix, max £150 tho.
    spec will soon b MSI KT3 Ultra ARU, Athlon XP 1900/2000+, 512 DDR

    Thats a fairly decent price for a Ti500, though tbh I'd cchoosethe GeForce 4 Ti4200 at around £130 which is significantly faster than the Ti500.......

    :(

    Gainward are the most overclockable cards (apparently). Id buy one for each machine in the house if I had the money.
