Good value with something like this, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866) similar to what I am running. I always go for bang for buck!

Was looking the cards in http://www.elara.ie/products/graphicse.aspx?available=checked&range=3 for an el cheapo upgrade for my ATI HD4870, but unsure if any of them would be of any use :| If I bought it today it would probably be with me before the LAN (would pick it up on Friday, and install it when I got up at yours), but may just hold on a few months, and put more money to a more decent GFX card (only thing wrong with current card is getting rid of the heat).
