Firstly, is that any good?
Y'see, I have no idea when it comes to graphics card's.
Could you recommend any?
For instance, do any of you have a high quality GFX cards that you'd recommend?
Danke.

I found it twice, and both times with a tag of 148 quid.
Too much I'm afraid.
However, I've found a non-pro version at a considerably cheaper price.

What is your current graphics card? As if its say a old Geforce 3 Ti or even one of the Geforce 4 Ti's then you really wouldnt need to upgrade or if you did you would want a 9800Pro or even a FX5900.

Yeah exactly. You can get a FX5200 256mb card but it wont run nothing as its chipset is utter rubbish. Its cheap if you havent got much money, but your only going to just about run pong on it.
About Doom 3 you will actually need to use main RAM. I found out by reading about AGP memory size(the setting in the bios of your motherboard). Apparently the onboard RAM isnt used for all aspects of the graphics and main system RAM is also used at the same time to store textures or something, while the graphics RAM is used for other tasks. I can't remember where I read it but do a search on AGP and you should dig out some more information.

It depends entirely what price you're willing to pay...
