Video Card retardation

Last weekend I was playing Quakewars and was getting annoyed at the lack of FPS and annoying resolution of my laptop, I decided I would buy a new video card for my shuttle and bring it back from its grave.
I went onto scan.co.uk and ordered a 7600GS with 512mb which was clearly in stock and then the next day they say its actually not in stock.
I cancelled the order and went onto dabs.com and ordered another one, again, clearly in stock, however 2 days later they couldnt dispatch it because my cardholders address was different to my delivery address....really it wasnt.
Then I went onto overclockers and ordered another, it arrives today...a 256mb version worth £15 less than the one I ordered. I ask them to collect it and dispatch another, "I'm sorry, we cannot dispatch it until we've received and inspected the original." They couldnt pickup until Monday, I wouldnt get a replacement until Wednesday...
HONESTLY, 10 days for a fucking video card?
Will attempt going back to Scan, as they've now lowered their prices and kindly offered me free shipping because of my earlier problems. Lets see if I actually get it tommorow.

PS: ret4dz0-r
anyways I think it's mostly cpu dependent, just like et
btw QW for u guys is like radar for me ;<
any suggestions? supply & braundorf is 80-100 stable
but maps like radar, oasis etc is a disaster :(
especially in 6v6 lots of spam, action , major fps drops
