Graphics cards bitches!

My graphics card has fucked itself and I need a cheap one that will do a decent job of games. I've never been in a position to play things at maximum detail so I won't notice if it can't do it

halp!

I've got an 8800GT and that's done me very nicely so anything around that level would be grand

As little as possible, money is veeeeery tight

Unless my boss decides to go on holiday for a few days in which case I'll sneak it through that way

Roughly equivalent would be a GTS250 at around £100, or you might be able to find somewhere still selling 9800GTs for £60-ish. ebuyer seem to have both.

Boss just told me he's ordered me a graphics card and if anyone asks why to say it's for the lecture theatre machine

Hope it's a good 'un. One of my bosses thought I'd be delighted when he ordered me a 9400GT. To not seem ungrateful, I put it in a fileserver somewhere.
