Looks like you're always running out of money... if i were you i'd SAVE the money and buy something which i KNOW will be as good as the money i've bought it for. Just a hint.

Hmm to be honest I'm quite surprised the 8400 isn't as good as the 7600... Perhaps it's the memory difference? Don't feel too down dude! GFX card prices these days drop very quickly... before you know it you'll be able to get a 9 series or better hehe

maybe its not as good as 7600, i guess perhaps my expectations are different

i'll wait and get one when 9 series have dropped i think
cos i guess the 8400 isnt exactly a load of

Hi Paul have you tried computer hardware, components, systems and peripherals at the lowest prices from IT supplier Aria Technology they often have great deals on video cards. I have bought load of great stuff from them in the past and you may find something to fit your pocket
