Is this a good deal on a graphics card?

Thinking about getting a new graphics card and I spotted this today:-

PNY 256Mb Geforce FX 6200 AGP x 8 with an additional stick of 512Mb PNY PC3200 DDR Ram for £100

Firstly is this a good deal? Secondly, if not is there something else out there that is better and preferably cheaper, but definately not more expensive.

I'm not too worried about the additional RAM, but I could use it in another of my machines, but its not exactly critical.

Thanks.

    don't know squat about graphics cards but you can buy a same spec (256MB geforce 6200 AGP) card from scan (https://www.scan.com) for just over half the price and they have the RAM sticks for £25...so unless PNY are a high spec producer and worth the extra then it seems like there are some savings to be had if you want them.
