Hello ALL

Can you give your recommendations as to what graphics card would be good for Doom 3. I have a new computer, Asus P5WD-2 Premium motherboard that takes 16x graphic cards.
I have a budget of £150.00 and would like to buy a good graphics card, 16x, for 3D games.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Hello again
I have bought and installed the graphics card. It is a Gforce 6600GT by Nvidia. The price was 144.51 pound.
It works great with Doom 3 and for the money is very good. Works perfect.
Thanks for your input....
