i don&#39;t know... the refresh rates at 1200x ???&nbsp; on both of the cards when compared favors the 8500 but we will see i will benchmark them, and then use them for halo, and see if i can get the game to play without lag... lol

the 8500 is an older card. unless u want the aiw features, it&#39;s not really that good [/b][/quote]
yes. the 9600 uses a completely different video chip than the 8500. the 9500, 9600, 9700 and 9800 all use the same chip design (R300) with various clock speeds and board layouts. the 8500, 9000, 9100 and 9200 use the previous chip design (R200).

yeah i know...

anyway any other after-thanksgiving shopping stories??

i just looked through my local Best Buy & Circuit City adverts. lotsa good bargains, like free gifts (GameCube or Portable DVD player) with DirecTV subscriptions or the LiteOn DVD burner & Radeon 9600 for less than &#036;100 each. not seeing anything i really want badly though.

i&#39;m trying to save up for a better TV, &#39;cause my 20" screen with only a composite input just ain&#39;t cutting it anymore.

[SciManAl]

yeah i got the Radeon 9600, and the burner the burner works well looks like crap...

[Timz]

where did you get the Radeon, i need it really badly, but my local best buy is out of stock =(, do you think it&#39;ll be back in stock tomorro?

[3RA1N1AC]

you could order it for the same price from bestbuy.com. i&#39;m sure the rebate still applies.

edit: nevermind. looks like the website has a higher price.

[Timz]

I checked the site, its out of stock, is there a way to get a rain check (so teh price stays the same, even after the sale has ended) , or is that not allowed on on-sale items?
