Niice How Much?

I am in need of a bump in the graphics department I currently have in my 939 3800 X2 rig a used 6600GT 128mb PCI-E card.

I mainly play on for XBOX 360 for games but a up to date bump would be nice. How much are looking at it and can it be bought now? I just did a google search and Misco.Co.Uk are selling a GDDR2 version for £30 http://misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=281964&Sku=110959.

I am guessing with it being GDDR3 it'll be £40-45 maybe.

HDMI and DVI are soldered on

Sorry, looks like you made a mistake. If you look closely at the pics, the HDMI and DVI ports are soldered onto the card, and the card has pin
headers for S-Video and VGA.

So you can swop the low-profile backplate for a full-height PCI backplane with S-Video, HDMI and DVI.

Or, you can add a second low-profile backplane for S-Video and VGA, if you don't mind using 2 low-profile PCI
slots for 1 graphics card.

backplate

Just to clarify: You can't actually remove the DVI and HDMI, you just have different options for the VGA and S-Video, either leaving them away or packing them into a longer single slot or a second low-profile add-on-bracket.

Still fine ;)

Change your own backplate

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
