the way i see it prices are dropping like a stone all the time , i reckon in 6 months time you will be able to get 512mb ram on a graphics card for the same price you pay now for 256mb
I remember a piece of advice I was given years ago about computing.

Basically, if you wait a couple of months for a more advanced card, you will always be waiting for a more advanced card. There is always something more powerful round the corner.

Ramrod: that Inno 3d card you where looking at... Im using an Inno3D GF4 Ti4200 and it actually just underperforms compared to my friends Creative Ti4400 and I have never had a problem with the card yet so I would reccomend them to anyone it was also about £50 cheaper then the nearest brand when I bought it however I seem to remember somebody on these boards hating them with a passion (Could have been Richard M) He may have had a bad experience with the cards or knows someone who has, or maybe most are faulty and I was just lucky, who knows??
Its just like I know people who swear by PNY 3D Cards yet the one I used, the heatsinks where attached with a non Heatproof double sided sticky tape so when the card built up any kind of heat the heatsinks would fall off
This fried my friends Network card and damned nearly took the motherboard with it. Apparently they dont attach the heatsinks like this anymore but if they are willing to do something like that to cut costs who knows what other corners they may have cut with building materials.
