    Hey people,

    Need some advice on what to go for, got about £210 and the rig in question is a 3ghz pentium 4, with a gig of ram. running xp.

    Its PCI-E, Im just not to sure what to go for. The guy who wants this wants to be able to run all the latest stuff, as well as possible. currently Its got onboard graphics, so anything has to be better.

    cheers people

    7900GT is your best bet :) Or an X1800XT 256mb. Both should be do able for that budget

    If you hadn't ordered it already :( then I would have suggested 7900GT, I hope this is the one that you have ordered? Please let me know...
