The Winner! SAPPHIRE 11188-22-20G Radeon HD 6950 2GB

Its a little more than what I wanted to spend but I think this will long term be the better choice. I did check out the Mem Express options thank you I completely forgot about them. But Newegg has the best deal. Plus you get a free $50 Game haha. Yet agian this forum has great advice and awesome response time. Thanks a bunch guys!! Now time to go pick up my copy of D3. :D
