GeForce FX 5900XT

Whats everyones opinions on these cards... i've been looking for reviews compared against the radeon 9600XT, its an extra £30 for the GeForce and i was wondering if it was worth it for the 256-bit memory bus

PS any other cards around the £100 - £200 mark you think i should have a gander at...

The things I have been reading say they are similar but the FX5900XT has the edge. As I was able to get one quite cheap with my new system, then that's what I now have. So far things look very pretty
It was the extra bus width and knowledge that it was a tweaked down 5900 card, so perhaps offering more scope for overclocking later than something that is already beefed up (like the Rad 5600XT), that tempted me.

I went for the Rad 9800 Pro as the step up in performance is very small to the XT and didnt seem worth the extra dosh, and at £160 I found it to be best bang for me buck
