OK, so this might just be an excuse for me to spend a bit of Ã‚Â£, but I love shopping

At the moment I've got an AMD x2 4200+, 1 Gb memory, and a 7300 LE with 512Mb

I'm getting the feeling this is a bit unbalanced - fast processor but not very much memory and a slow graphics card. It took about 30 minutes to demux a 7 Gb mpeg today.

So I reckon to spending me some money

I'm thinking of 2 sets of this to get me to 4 Gb

Not too sure about graphics card though - I don't really play games.

Ones that caught my eye are:

256M Gigabyte NX86T256H 8600GT
256MB Gainward 8600GT Silent
512MB Gigabyte 8600GT Silent

What do you techies reckon to those?
