Need new graphics card

Probably because he wants his money's worth?

200 can probably get you a 7600GT or a 7900GS if you look hard enough. As for ATi cards? Anything that has DDR3 memory, don't go with DDR2 type cards.

I don't were the TS is located, but you can get a 7950GT for eur 159,00 here in Holland. A 7600GT Pci-e is eur 79,00 (an agp version eur 99,00)

For eur 259,00 you can get a Sparkle 8800GTS 320mb.. probably my new choice..

so why is it than that the ddr2 is faster than the ddr3????? and im talking bout the agp card here.
ddr2 boasts roughly 700ish mem and clock speed and ddr3 boasts about 500ish

@Mooncatt = the issue is latency vs. bandwidth. DDR2 has a lower latency, but DDR3 has twice the bandwidth. so DDR 3 still is overall faster even though it's clocked less.
