I am guessing you mean AGP!?!?!

Go for one of the x800s or one of the x850s when they are released (for agp)

or use that money to upgrade your whole system to go pci-e! remember you will get some more money from the existing components as well!

you could probably get a decent spec system socket 939, 6600gt (upgrade later), decent pci-e mobo bla bla bla

cheers

EDIT: Forgot to say, you can(could) get a decent 6800gt (BFG) for just over £230!!!
Ive just been back to pcw and the prices have gone up some £15!!!

PowerColor Radeon X800XT

XFX GeForce 6800GT 256MB

I got the Powercolor x800xt pe since it was faster than the 6800 Ultra in everything apart from Doom3 - which i dont care about.

I have the XFX 6800GT very happy with it, and they clock to ultra speeds out the box :)

If you want versatiliy (e.g hardware mpeg encoding accelaration) go for a top end 6800 ... if you want raw gaming joy, I'd go for a top end ATI...x800xt pe if you can!

this any good

x850xt

If an X850xt it faster why would it be cheaper than an x800xt???
