    Depends on OP's budget. 6800LE can be very overclockable too. Good value for money in some recent offers I've seen

    Well for around 100 it is probably the best your gonna get. I would stick a zalman cooler on it and try get your moneys worth with a little overclocking.

    That's what I meant. A second hand 9800 pro goes here for around the €100 mark and a 6800LE is a small but significant upgrade (especially if you're into DOOM3) so you can't really go wrong for €115 even if overclock doesn't work out
