Any good sites that can ship to my area?

linky to my other post for the parts list:

EDIT: I know its a US site, but at least you will have the parts and rough cost.

I've been offered a 7600GS for little cash. I was going to hang on to my 9600XT for a bit longer, but is the 7600GS up to M2TW on decent settings?

Cheers.

The 7600GS is a large step up from the 9600XT. Definitely take it if you can get it for free or very low cost. How much btw?

[Slug For A Butt]

Heh, free would be nice. If anyone has a free one I'll give it a great home.
No but really... I've got a friend who is thinking of upgrading and hopefully will sell me his for about £50. We've only chatted about the possibilities while half pissed in the pub so far though.
Good or bad deal?

Edit: sorry about the 'p' word people.

[BlackAxe3001]

Hmmm, it doesn't seem like a great deal really. You can get a new one for about £65 it looks. If you really wanted to grab a card with some horsepower for around £115 then the x1950pro would be a great choice, but it depends on what your current computer has in it for hardware.

US site, I know, but at least you will know what you are looking at. I got this card for my dad, and let me tell you, it rocks! It added at least another year or two onto his agp system. Let me know what you think.

You have seen a new one for £65 including delivery? I'd appreciate a link BlackAxe.
Cheers.

EDIT: dammit, I'm falling into that trap of spending money that my wife won't appreciate me spending if I'm not careful. Now if it was money for curtains and cushions that would be different... I decided I was going to hang onto my 9600xt for a while but I suppose I could actually swap cards between her and my system with her never knowing. After all her tower will remain the same colour.
