Is This A Good Deal?

So you all lean towards ATi

I want a card that can play half-life 2 and FFXI. Also wont be a crappy ass card in a year.

if that is your goal get an XT that comes with HL2, like the 9600XT for example
very nice card, within price range, comes with HL2, what more do you want?

Yeah...remember Price RANGE&#33;

By the time games even use 256MB PCI express will be working and all the new version ATI cards will be out...dont get 256Now..save the money to get the new version ATIs with PCI express&#33; If you get the 9700Pro and not the 9800Pro 256MB...then you already have saved &#036;130 which you can spend on a new card&#33; lol

Ok, then i will stay with 128MB :)

NONE&#33; Why are you buying from them? Buy from newegg.

Its about pipelines my friend.

9600 Series has 4 Pipelines and is more of a budget/gaming card.

9700 Series has 8 pipelines and is an awesome gaming card..the 9800 and 9700 Series are on the same level...just the 9800 has a higher clock speed&#33;

Go with the 9700Pro for &#036;200.

@bigdawg
read this, you may find it is a very very nice card :)
500Mhz clock speed, thats faster then a 9800XT B)

As i said i don&#39;t have a credit card, does newegg let you buy with money order or something?
