Decided I ought to see how the market has changed since I last looked for a new card, since there might be a chance that mine is dying (or the power supply).
And as I browse Newegg.com, trying to see where my 7950gt stands (couldn't find it on Newegg) I see some strange inconsistencies in pricing.

640 MB cards worth less than 512s, the featured EVGA 512 GDDR3 card at the top worth astoundingly less than some of the others. I even saw a full gigabyte card for $100.
What is going on here? What am I missing?
And looking at some of these prices, I wonder, if I become forced to get a new card, just what I should get? I remember how confused I was getting my current card. I just followed the reviews then.
What would you reccomend to someone who wanted to keep up to date with graphics, had a 32 bit Win XP OS, and didn't want to get hosed and unkowingly downgrade to a WORSE card that only LOOKED better?
