Finally decided to buy a shuttle 45G from gemma - I was going to buy an XP2500+ Barton to go with it but they don't appear to stock it but they do stock XP2600+ Thoroughbred. Is it worth sourcing the XP2500 elsewhere or getting the 2600 from gemma - is there that great a difference in performance - also can you recommend a budget graphics card that is capable of running most new games at 800X600
