Thats a decent card...how much money would that be in USD? And when you said you could spend $220 I'm guessing that was in CD?

okay, so is the 9500 any good? i heard a while back if you o/c, it could be as good as the 9700

, don't know if that's true. btw, i'm in b.c. (14.5% tax

). ya, i think ebay is probably my best shot. in your opinion guys, what's better for price, a geforce or radeon? i'm thinking about the 9500 and the 9700 (220 bucks isn't bad, i can save up to that in about a week). i just need something with direct x9.0 and opengl 2.0 capabilities (need it for upcoming games, duh, doom3 and half life2 in particular). i'll check out that alberta site, btw, how much tax do you have to pay in alberta?

power color radeon 9600 pro for 219 (CAD), what do you think? is the api direct x9.0 on it? i don't know cuz the specifications link doesn't work, it's on the iccomputers site.
