I Should have snapped up the B GRADE x1900 512mb Powercolour

didnt see it!!!

are B grade products worth going for? or is it worth paying the extra?

So MSI It is!! why is the Nforce chipset better than the ATI equivilant??

also ive heard such good things about DFI, i thought that would be the obvious choice

For me, since i use the onboard LAN and Sound these two features are very important so if one of the three boards listed above come with better onboard sound / LAN then that will certainly tip the scales!!
