    A very good price for this card. I've just been looking in to top end graphics cards and these are definately around the £350 mark normally. I ended up buying the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ultra at £358 .A card I would recommend to any hardcore PC gamer. I installed it last Friday and the quality/performance is mind blowing.

    I would go for a second hand 6800gt that should be just under £200 & is & will be an excellent card for a couple of years

    The card takes up two slots. Something to keep in mind as well though. I've just installed the Nvidia 6800 ultra. This card also takes up two slots, but also contains a fan to keep it cool. I kept the next slot free as well and wouldn't put a card next to it. This is to maintain a decent airflow into the fan. This means basically the card has taken over three slots. Luckily I've got enough room on the board for this not to be a worry. If you have limited space, or a few PCI cards installed, this is worth bearing in mind.
