I have no idea, I bought it for £200 a year ago and I've had too many beers to be bothered enough to find out what the price is now.

I Tend to max the amount of ram the machine can have, better to have too much than too little :wacko:

Desktop got 8GB Laptop got 4GB

Had to use a shitty eMachines today for my test for my course. Laptop itself wasn't too bad actually, Pentium something or other, dual core I imagine, 3GB DDR3, 250GB HDD.

Pentium dual cores are Core2Duo's with slightly less cache :P

Being used, I'd say $180 - $220.

That was a high estimate. There are a lot of completed listings on eBay in the $150 - $170 range.

Unfortunately that's still a little bit more than I'm looking to spend right now... I'm probably going to be building a new rig late in the year, so if he still has it by then I'll probably pick it up. I don't want to low ball him though, when he could probably get a lot more on eBay with little to no effort.

wow it's 77 f out and it's only march, wonder what apirl will look like :wacko:

Considering it's a 2GB card, he could get quite a bit for it. I was just offering a general range for the two of you.

Yeah, I looked up the card on Newegg, and retail value is quite high, even now. So unfortunately I'll have to pass on it, like I said, I don't want to low ball him.

If he doesn't care about maximizing value, I wouldn't worry about it :shrug:. Since you're going to wait as it is, wait until nVidia puts out the 600 series cards.

I honestly don't plan on ever going back to Nvidia. I just don't trust the company. After the BS they tried to pull with requiring you to use their chipset to SLI, and the toaster ovens that were the 400 series, I just do not want another card from them. PhysX was cool, but under used. So meh.
