Default nVidia 8500GT

Is it a good graphics card?
What good features does it have?
Should I get the 256MB or 512MB version?
What sort of games would I be able to play? Games like Oblivion?

Cheers.

Don't bother with it. It's meant to be more of a media center card rather than a gaming one.

Here is a benchmark
It doesn't do well at all.

Oh darn..I was looking to get a decent graphics card that could play Oblivion, but I really don't want an ATI card and the nVidia 8800 is too expensive and I don't know what an 8600GT would be like..Would a 8600GT be worth around £75?
