    Try eBay, they have good value cards on it, I got my 128MB GeForce FX5200 PCI graphics card from it for €55. Worked and all.

    If you're a gamer or at least interested in a good media experience stick with the xfx 6600gt i have one and they're good value for money but avoid ebay and especially cards like geoforce FX5200. They're fine if you're looking for something for everyday use but you could just as easily buy a graphics card with hypermemory or turbocache support. They're cheap and would probably give you better quality than anything in the nvidia FX series cards. Good luck:)

    True, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore gamer, although Half Life 2 and Far Cry play quite well on it. I do need to upgrade to something better though......

    There's an 128MB X800GTO for €160 on Komplett -- is that right? I thought GTO's where all 256mb cards...
