ok im upgrading, and i cant afford a swanky 768mb 8800 but in a couple of months i will have enough cash to buy one. so im looking for a card to see mee through as i currently dnt have pci express. Ive read in a magazine that the above card is the best cheap power for money out there. i was just wondering if anyone had one and what performance they have had and what i could expect in games like supreme commander, ghost recon and rfactor.

Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

this is the model i was thinking of. its just i dnt see the point of spending £250 on a card il will be using for only 3 months at the most. aslong as it can play games at 1600x1050 id be happy.

well if the 8800's are coming down il get 1 of those then, would a 320mb run supreme commander in 1600x1050 with AA?
