Is this the best option

I am in need of a new GPU as my ATI X850XT can't cut it any more. I don't have a lot of money right now, only £150~ish, I really want to stay with ATI. I am about to go and purchase an Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI.

I only use 1280x1024 res on my Samsung 19" monitor, and I have an Skt 939 system.

This is about the best I can go for with my system and money, right :confused:
 
256mb will be fine for 1280x1024, 512mb doesn't really make much diff anyway, even at high resolutions your only talking about 5fps or so, which is nothing, x1950 XT is a cracking card, performance increase will be absolutely staggering going from an x850, very slight overclock on the memory and you have yourself a 256mb x1950 XTX, and it will last for donkeys yet aswell. :)

cheers for that, but my biggest concern at the moment, is that I am around to take delivery of the card, as I had an accident with my car, and that's needs to be sorted tomorrow morning a.s.a.p :(
