    Graphics Card Advice

    Okay, I have just under £150 for a new PCI-E card.
    I have a ST20G5 Shuttle case so it can only be a one-slot card.

    Anyone got any ideas for a good card?

    I was maybe looking at either a 6600gt or a X800GT
    Which is better?
    Thanks

    You might want to look at an plain X800, coming in at just under £150.

    Or wait to see how the x800gto and new versions are, I hear they are pretty overclockable as they use the same core as the x850xtpe but have a much lower price tag.
