Don't silly and ignore ATI completely, great cards come from ATIs side of things.

You don't have enough rep to *start* a thread, doesn't mean you can't look and see what is available. I think my first purchase was when I only had like 8 rep.

Have a GPU or CPU that is sitting around that would be good for folding but you can't fold yourself for whatever reason? Or looking to adopt a component or full rig from someone that has one available? Check out my Adopt-a-Rig program and sign up!

Have an abit board that isn't working anymore and are sad that you can't RMA it? Dont' be sad, abit is still honoring RMAs! I know, I know, I was surprised too!

Get a GTS 250 for lke $130 USD or if you can scrap some more cash together get a GTX 260 for around $200 USD and theres usually rebates.

Yeah, but usually they say "at least X rep" which annoys me, but I guess it is important, because they need to know you are trustworthy.

Yeah definatly liking the 260. £150(ish) but that is 1/3 of what I'm intending of spending on this build.
