Right, I've decided to plump for a new graphics card, but I don't know which one to get. It's got to be pci express, have at least 256mb and cost around £100 pounds, maybe less. I'm not looking for anything mega powerful, just something that'll get my by until I can afford to buy one that makes a PS3 look crap 
. Also I'd rather go with nvidia because I don't really trust ATI, but I might consider switching.
The XFX GeForce PCX6600 Extreme Edition 512MB (£100) looks nice as its clocked really fast (560mhz
) and got lots ram but I heard that that the 6600 was a useless chipset. What about the XFX GeForce PCX6600 256MB? Its probably not very good but its only £60. I also saw overclockers offering a 6800gs for only £138, which makes going for a 6600gt a bit pointless. Would the extra £40 or £80 pounds for the gs be worth it in extra performace, bearing in mind that its only a temporary card.
Any thoughts on my predicament, anyone?
