Don't really see the point of 512Mb on a slow chip card (6200 is pretty low spec)...

Look on overclockers.co.uk -- 6600 or 6600GT with 256Mb. There's a Leadtek 6600GT/256Mb for about £105 inc VAT

The GT's a worthwhile difference. Might be worth looking at some 6800's as well -- not sure on all the prices but they're definitely coming down quickly

Exactly.
For that sort of money i would definatly get either a 6600GT or 6800GT (if you can afford that).

The hardware video decoding doesn't work on the 6800's.
Thats what made me go for the 6600gt over the 6800 vanilla.
There are specific cards you get for running things like that paul.
Its slightly different from gaming.

i paid 200 for a 6800GT 256mb, and it runs everything i can throw at it fast!

the 6600GT is a very good card and will run 80% of all games out now with no problems whatso ever. (plus its cheap)

You dont want a gaming card for that.

Go to nvidias site and have a look at their workstation graphics cards rather than home gaming.
