Hi all,

Instead of updgrading everything in my pooter i'm gonna wait for AM2 to bed in and do the whole lot then.

So basically i need to replace my 9800 Pro which has been flashed to an XT with an AC fitted. I don't want to go megabucks with the gfx card, just something to tide me over for 6 months or so. Only drawback being it's AGP!

Thanks to anyone that can help here :D
 
I bought a B-Grade XFX 7800gs EE a few months ago, for the same price, and it's been fine. It came with all of the manuals, CDs and leads but the box was slightly ripped in one corner. I couldn't afford to upgrade to PCI-E and my GeForce Ti300 wouldn't run games like Oblivion or FEAR very well so I thought why not. Well worth the money IMO.
