the 9600xt is horrible for that price. the hd is ok. the processor needs to be at least 3.2

**bigdawgfoxx** · 12-27-2003, 04:16 PM

Thats one hell of a system. The graphics card could be a 9700 or 9800 series, but the 9600XT is very good also. I think 2.8Ghz would be fine, but that system is pretty high. You could build one yourself for much cheaper I'm sure.

Will it do what you want it to do?

Yeah, because that would make such a big difference over a 2.8GHz processor. It would certainly justify the massive increase in price.

lol yeah I agree. 2.8Ghz should be fine. 3 if you want more, but the 3.2 is so exspensive, because its the top product in the line of chips

ok. maybe the 3.2 is a bit rash. but the 9600xt is not good
