I know that Doom 3 uses 256MB of graphics card memory, so my question to you is - which is better for Doom 3, a Sapphire 256MB Radeon 9600XT or a Sapphire 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro?
 
so would i. funnily enough though, i have a friend with a 9600XT 256Mb ram that claims to be able to run doom 3 better than i can (i have radeon 9800 Pro)

However, after running a couple of tweaks in the doomconfig.cfg file (ie, setting cache mem to 256 and all that) i can run it a lot better than he can.

go the 9800 Pro. Better overall card

or fork out the extra 40$ for the 256 9800pro
 
Haha, I was just curious as of which card to buy for my System 2 - not actually to play Doom 3 :)

System 2 (if you didn't see it when it was in my sig):
Athlon XP2500+ (1.9GHz FSB 172MHz)
512MB DDR344 CAS 2.5
MSI K7N2 motherboard
128MB GeForce 4 Ti4200
80GB Maxtor 7,200rpm 8MB Cache (soon to be RAID -0, 160GB)
 
For the prices of our 9800XT's I might as well get a X800 Pro, the places I buy from are great for the latest technology, but their prices don't drop very fast.

Does anyone know a UK online hardware shop that is cheap but still provides good customer support?
 
Hmm...!? There are online computer stores that provide good customer support?!? WoW...I need to check this out!
