    What spec are you looking for. Is it for games? If so you might need a certain spec or amount of memory etc?
    How much you want to spend?

    keep looking at

    http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/usedItems/bgrade_search.htm

    for bargain

    search for 6800, 6600, 6600gt for that price range. Also lookout for a dabs value cards and do your research on them, some turn out to be very good and are the same as other manufactures just with out the crappy free games you dont want to pay for anyway

    Thats a good card for the price. One thing to consider, you will need to use a DVI-VGA adapter (probably bundled with card). The disadvantage to this is your monitor cable sticking way out the back of ur pc. Its also puts pressure on the card due to weight. Had this problem with an old card I had a while back. There is no performance issues using the adapter so if u can live with it, buy it. :)

    Youre right there Loobz, i got one of those adapters with my 6800le, it was actually quite a small adapter and wouldnt take up much space at the back

    Thanks for all the replies. How would the Gainward GeForce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP8X, "Ultra/1960 XP" ViVo compare to my good old (but slow) Geforce Ti4200?

    It will play BF2 :)
    Native hardware DX9 support if I'm not mistaken, as opposed to the DX8 GF4.
    Much better then your old GF4, you'll certainly notice the difference.

    New cards will probably mean the currents cards will get cheaper soon.

    And slightly off-topic - is this Battlefield 2 game any good?
