    My OEM Geforce256 SDR cost me £150 on release. I gather the DDR and retail boxed ones cost quite a bit more.

    To be honest, nVidia can suck my lozenge with these 6 monthly updates, unless they start charging reasonable prices. Anyone remember buying their TNT at launch for £125? Good grief.

    However, I must admit if I had the monies I'd upgrade every 6 months!

    Not as bad as my sister, who recently upgraded from a 38x cdwriter to a 40x cdwriter, and subsequently saved all of about 5 seconds copying time.

    I'll wait until something radical happens, before I upgrade. I'm not holding my breath. To illustrate how apathetic I am toward the PC industry these days (having been a part of it since my mam bought me an XT back in '88), I was looking at an advert for the new lamp style IMac the other day and thinking "Hmmm..."

    I remember getting my voodoo 3 for £120, and rushing home to play Need for Speed Road Challange and Descent 3!
