new card??
I'm picking up a new graphics card but I really am on a budget. I cant spend more than £50.
I think the main choices are:
Geforce3 ti
Geforce 4 MX (Yes, I know.)
Radeon 9000/9100
I'm thinking that the Geforce 3 ti would be the best choice but the Radeon has hope.

Gf3 ti200, then as soon as you get it home set to work on overclockign it. If you can get a decent overclockers make with RAMsinks if at all possible, although dont go over budget specifically for em

What would you call a decent overclockers make exactly?
I'll try for some RAMsinks and thermal epoxy.

LOL, Jakk that is the exact one I was looking at but my Dad insists I buy all my stuff at computer fairs so I'll try my best to find it there.
Thanks all.

One more thing, I've been looking at that card and it looks like it already has RAMsinks so I'm not gunna need to buy any, correct?

If i were you i would go and get it from ebuyer if you really cant wait. I doubt you'll find it at a computer fair, and ebuyer tend to be nice and cheap. Your only concern whgere ebuyer are concerned is support, and you get bugger all of that at most computer fairs anyways

Yeah well there is this fair on sunday so we're going early, getting a load of stuff, getting it all home, testing it all then taking back any bad parts for immediate replacement.
I guess if I don't see it there then I'll order it and just have to WAIT to get my new rig setup.
whats delivery like from them other than being free until may 1st.

Ebuyer's delivery is really good, just hope you never have to return anything. They sent my brother two Athlon XPs instead of the MPs he'd ordered - took a month to sort it out Maybe that's why they're so cheap...

By good do you mean, I order now and it arrives in a couple of days or next day or a week or...?

Arrived in a couple of days. Most of the order was fine, just the processors were wrong.

Thanks fishy.
I'll just have to look for it on sunday if it is not available there then I'll order it and hopefully be up and running on Tuesday/wednesday.
