Boris Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I know - that one he posted was from AUT Direct and was £110.00 inc VAT.That would have saved him £16.50 - he won't get a 256MB FX5700 for £70 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 He should be able to get a 5700-128mb for about £90.00, I have one in a shuttle computer and it is better than the 4800 in my main computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besty Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I think i will go for borses first choice. There is no point in upgrading my system and getting a rubbish card. U know spending all that money and then skimping on an important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
