£69:61 delivered inc vat. (with a few more quality posts he gets Free Deliv from Scan.) it's a GDDR 3 card.. I see no need for GDDR 5 to be honest.

I am sure I'm right... but CAT DOES know more about this stuff than I

BUT.. in experience terms.. ie actual useage only last week, I installed a 220 GT with 1gb and it ran Dungeons and Dragons online, on a S939 Dual Core, at max graphics settings, at 1280x1024.
And it plays IL-2 as well as my 4870 does.
That graph posted by Cat shows the GT220 and 9500GT both with the same performance (near enough) despite the GT220 having 50% more shaders. I guess in the tests they run the GT220 is ram bandwidth limited.

Still, the 9500GT is only a tad faster than the old 8600GT I bought years ago which is still going strong (now in its third home, my son's PC). Best £42 I ever spend on a PC part I think
