x1650 set to take <£100 graphics crown?

http://www.hothardware.com/viewartic...leid=861&cid=2

unlike the x1600 pro this comes with gddr3 instead of ddr2 and is clocked higher than the x1600xt.It is available to pre order for 94 quid from ocuk http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...00_Series.html

Think this may compete with the 7600 GT in this range

I want one, this plus a ram upgrade soon ( sorry mate ) will complete ( nearly ) my pc upgrade, the nearly part being a new HDD or 2

lol no worries dude

Crikey, did I imagine it or does the article say it's gonna be sub $100? Dunno what the exchange rate is these days, but that used to be about £55ish... stunning price for such a card.

Bloody good find, Zing

Why is it that when I buy stuff for a PC upgrade that a few weeks later the one I wanted to get, but was too expensive at the time drops buy lots?

Then again upgrading wouldn't be half as much fun...all I need to finish off my upgrade is a bit more RAM and I am happy

sods law mate sods law my cpu is 2 quid cheaper now too

[Saneboy13]

I'm just happy since I swapped to an Asus Mobo. The DFI one I had drove me insane.

Also I managed to get a Coolermaster case £30 cheaper from E-buyer two weeks ago, and it's made a huge difference to my Mobo temp.

Once I have done the RAM upgrade I will be at a loss, but then again I am going to sort out my HDD's to run as Raid, no doubt that will keep me entertained for a few hours

Hey been reeding on these forums a while and it seems you have all the knowledge on computers. Im looking for a graphics card update and would like your help please. first of all here is my specs.

Compaq Presario SR1180uk

http://support.pcworld.co.uk/layout....-30dd88ba904c}

( Link to the pc at pcworld )

Intel Pentium 4 550, 3400 MHz (17 x 200)
Asus PTGD1-LA (3 PCI, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio, LAN, IEEE-1394)
1024 MB
RADEON X600 Series (256 MB)
ATI Radeon X600 (RV380)
RV380 (PCI Express x16 1002 / 3E50, Rev 00)
446 MHz (original: 450 MHz)
290 MHz (original: 290 MHz)

So im wondering what graphics card would be the best option for about £100 - £150. Would i see much of an improvement over my old graphics card, will be playing on Ghost recon Adavanced Warfighter and Toca race driver 3 and really want to play on high stettings if possible and not ruling out getting new games to play on. Are they easy to fit and will anything else need upgrading on my computer.

One more thing how much would the computer be worth now and how much would it be worth in about 6 months time if thats possible to say. Cheers for your help in advance.
