@AntonioX

Thanks! So far I've found a ATI Radeon 8500 AGP MAC 64Mb DDR   for £ 249.95 on www.microanvika.co.uk.

Not the one that I want, but it's one of the only places that doesn't want me to buy a card inside a machine so far, I'll check the others though no point going off half cocked, as they say. 8-)

Thanks also to everyone else. ;-)

(UPDATED by Mike_Amiga 2003)

Now I've gone and bought it. Hope my credit card doesn't max out.

I'll tell you if its crap or not when I get it, anythings got to be better than a Rage 128 though, right?

Yes you`ll find it a lot better for games/dvd , twin monitors ( for zoom views in Quake3d! ).

As for productivity, the rage 128 is just as good...

BTW. i couldn`t get any links on the choons page :-?

True for productivity in Photoshop etc a Rage 128 will do it's job more than adequately, but I'm mainly purchasing for improved games performance.

@blobrana

Wayne did say he was changing the site so HTML links wouldn't work or something, but my link seems to be working and it looks like HTML to me?:-?  

He said something about using BB Code instead. I just checked the code most people are using on this site for links and it looks the same as the stuff I'm using.

Weird :-?

What computer you using? Could that make a difference? Can anyone sort this out? Maybe the server was busy or taken down that night for repair when you tryed to use the link. :-? :-?  :-?

Works fine on my Mac. 8-)
