I don't know the exact exchange rate, but £100 is about $150.

So the offer for the GeForce is a great deal, cause that card is a few hundred dollars here in the states.

there is a model named geforce3 Ti?

the Ti series are are only in geforce4

you better check that page (http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce4ti.html)

But in my opinion for ur system u better get an ati radeon series cuz it got a better performance like 9800,or if it dosnt fit ur budget u can get a radeon 9200 or 9500 series

I also thought there was a GeForce3 Ti...

Take a leap from out the window because it's way to far to go through the door.

Sorry to chime in a little late here. You did the right thing to get the GF FX 5600 over the GF3. Let me clarify a few things:
- The GF FX 5600 is at least twice as fast as the GF3 and ATI Radeon 9200, and maybe as fast or a little faster than a high-end GF4 Ti.
- The GF3, GF4 Ti (which is a sped up GF3) and Radeon 9200 are all DirectX 8 cards. The Radeon 9200 is just a rebranded Radeon 8500 with 8x AGP support
- There was a GeForce 3 Titanium series released after the original GeForce 3. There was the GeForce 3 Ti 500 and GeForce 3 Ti 200

The GF FX 5600 is a great choice for your budget (the only other choice would be a Radeon 9600), and should be able to run most games these days, although you may not be able to use the highest graphics settings. My nephew bought a GF FX 5200 lately and we tried GR and Splinter Cell on it which looked and played fine.
