    Just looking for some Ram prices on www.crucial.com and noticed they are now selling graphics cards. Seems to be quite cheap compared even to the likes of Komplett. No idea if there are reviews of it out there or not yet. I realise the 9800xt Pro will be upon us soon but I think this may still be good value. Anyway just for your information.

    Crucial part number: CTV9800P128A28

    State-of-the-art:

    * 128MB quad-channel DDR memory
    * 380MHz core frequency/2.8ns memory
    * Support for DirectX® 9

    Price (VAT exclusive): €313.99
    Price (*VAT inclusive): €368.94

    they arn't the cheapest radeon's going (although they are cheaper than most brands) look at these

    here


    and with komplett's new 9.99 parcel force delivery it works out cheaper than the crucial

    I'm not 100% sure but I think the powercolour radeons haven't gotten great reviews at all. Slower ram it seems.

    Did find reviews of the crucial ones saying they were pretty decent though.

    Anyway keep it coming. Good prices on graphics cards are always welcome.

    Grandmars 9800np 128meg (not samsung) for £195 + £8 P&P to Ireland.

    £203.00 GBP = €296.275

    I sent a money order I bought from the bank and got the card a few days later, the memory has heat sinks attached and its good for 320 mhz or 33 in a good cool case.

    I bought from him without any problems, he ships stuff in from Hong Kong so his prices are good.
