That looks like a good budget for a nice ATI 9800pro mate. There are a few variations available at different prices but most of them are below the £150 mark. The Pro can also be overclocked to better card again.

Ok, The ATI 9800 Pro it is then do i get the 128mb or 256mb ?

The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB will push you way overbudget unfortunately, the 128MB Pro version is is the same card that i`m in the market for, just trying to find a best price at present. Make sure you get a 128MB card with a 256bit interface though dont be tempted to save a few quid on a 128bit interface card or the SE version.

I`m not sure if you can unlock the bios on the Pro 128mb card to make it run like an XT rather than a Pro, i know you can with the Pro 256mb card but it`s all more money :(

If you find a good deal under £140 all in be sure to post it on this thread please?

Novatech do them for £115 delivered. They`re OEM, but I`m not sure if they use the R350 or R360 core. If it`s the latter, you can flash the BIOS to make the card run at 9800XT speeds. You might have to wait for them to get stock as they sell rather quickly. Failing that, I think Evesham do one for about £125 delivered.
