seriously those are both fairly weak video cards and 30 pounds, isn't that like 60usd? I like ATI more than Nvidia, however any of their SE line is severly hindered in the performance area, slower ram, less memory bandwidth, less pipes... and TC from nvidia, isn't that the desination for a video card which has very little ram but is able to double it by pretending system memory is part of it? I don't know, i would stay away from both.

Seriously if you are going to get cards that cheap, just get a mobo with build in graphics and save some money for a better card later .

Many thanks Dinkster9, but I was really hoping you were going to lend me the money...

You should get a good sli mobo from asus or gigabyte first. For the vga just wait for a little while and you should be able to save up for a 6600 or x800 card. I don't what kind of games are you planning to play with but with those two graphics card are only for 2D application. So you should wait just a while until fall when good gaming cards prices would be down. Sorry man but those graphics card are not for gaming anymore.

for a bit more u can get a 6600 vanilla... decent card... will run most games on medium settings and is around 120US... consider that over the x300 and 6200... but between those 2 i believe the x300 beats out the 6200..
