256mb 256bit ddr3

Also, will it need to plug into the power supply?

they're pretty good - a little out dated now but still packs a punch - i wouldn't pay more than £45 for a new one [PCI-E is cheaper than AGP].

from the toms hardware VGA charts it seems that the 7600GS you were looking at is ahead of the 6800GS. so the 7600GS you were looking at is a better buy, especially seeing as they're cheaper on pricespy. i have an XFX 6800GS myself (albiet AGP). it's not bad, but if the 7600GS, get that.

(oh, and i'm not trying to order you around. i write opinions, not orders ;) :P )

yeah, i guess. Should I get the 7600gs then? Ive got the money now, and Ive got the place im going to buy it. Any final changes?

Orrrrr, do I go up to the 7600GT?

if you can afford it- definitely the GT is more powerful

thats a good point. Id rather get the not so powerful GS and have some money spare incase the computer tries to blow up, or launch itself into space and I have to fix it :D

On the top of the page, it says DDR3 and at the botom in the specs bit, it says DDR2. Should I worry about this?

his title is misleading, it is DDR2. i think only the top models have DDR3 anyway.
