Thanks for the replies, guys. I now clearly see the GTX 285 is not going to go down in price.... ever (as fas as I'm concerned).

My 8800GT just died, and I use Linux as well as Windows.... hence you see why I wanted a quick and easy upgrade.

I think I'll wait until the end of April (oh noes! No games for a month!) until I have the funds, then probably go for the 5850..... the 5770 suggestion is very interesting..... but if I'm going to upgrade, I may as well REALLY upgrade

Thanks all, keep making those suggestions, I'm listening

Regards,
Asfand
