at the moment i have a geforce 2 32mb. i want a really decent graphics card like a 256mb one i have found this one. firstly could anyone tell me wether this is actually a decent card? it says 256mb which i think is the best right? if it is i dont understand why this 256mb car is only £60 and other 256mb cards are like £300?!
