Hi, I've got a Barton Athlon 2500 333FSB, 512 DDr, 7200 RPM HD. I've just
got into pc gaming, and have around £60 to spend, which graphics card should
I go for?
I didn't realise there was so many different cards around.

Any help is appreciated, MrBungle

Someone over at 'uk.comp.homebuilt' said that his local PC World were
selling OEM 128MB PNY 5700 Ultras for £69. You won't find them on the PC
World website, so a trip down to your local store would be in order. They
probably won't be on the shelves for too long.

Cheers for the pointer. I tried my local PC World and they had none at all.
They actually looked at me a bit gone out about the price I quoted them,
although I did have a look at the Newsgroup you suggested. I would like to
play games like Prince Of Persia and Far Cry etc. If that helps.
