The MicroStar FX5900-VTD128 128 MB (DDR SDRAM) listed at this link
http://www.pricewatch.dealtime.co.uk/xPP-Graphics_Cards-fx5900-nvidia_geforce_fx_5900
for £ 146 inc looks to be the real deal.
However when you click on the shops supplying them for that price
http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=602777&referrer=dealtime they're
actually selling the XT version for £ 146 inc.
