    You'd be better off getting a Ti-4200 if your on a budget!

    That card is pretty slow, and 256meg is pointless...

    I agree with Howard with this one, the 4200 will do you better ATM.

    I'm not sure what will do better with games like HL2, does the 9200 have DX9?

    The 4200 will play HL2 just not at full pelt like the better Radeons.

    £70 for a 64Meg GF4Ti is actually very good value for money.

    I paid twice that for my 64meg one a year or more ago (slower memory back then too) and it still does fine for everything.

    Having said that, I'm not anticipating it being fast enough for either HL2 or Q3 for my liking, but I dont see any reason to upgrade until I have too.

    About the only thing I see on ebuyer as a worthwhile upgrade is a £185 9800 non pro, which is still a touch too expensive for the performance increase imho.

    Pretty terrible by the looks of it

    Whilst I like THG and normally stop off there first, I never truly 100% trust them and would recommend checking out another HW site (um, eg hexus
