Jimbo - Can I just ask - Did you have any issues fitting your GTX into your P180? I'm thinking of flogging my GTS and getting a GTS with more memory as I've just bought a 24" Dell beast...

Only problems I had was I had fitted a fan on the heatsinks nb/sb and had to take it of because it wouldnt go in the slot. Other than that it fits just fine.
 
Cheers for that Jimbo - The reason I ask is I currently have a 320MB version and have just splashed out on a 24" Dell and want to play all my games at high res - I'm thinking of selling the GTS 320MB and buying a GTS 640MB - DO you think this is a good plan for another £80?

Might be worth getting the GTX if you've got a 24" screen. The differance between the GTX and GTS is more apparent higher resolutions.
 
I couldnt really comment mate, on wether its worth it or not. I just know my 8800GTX will kill anything at any res, I reckon at the end of the day its about how fast your core/mem is, rather than amount of mem on board. Just get the best you can afford. ;)
