i would rather get a 128mb 9600 pro, than a 256mb 9600non-pro
damn! i just found out my mobo only supports AGP 4X in that case wat would be a suitable video card
You could get the 9600, but it would only run at 4x agp - then you could get a mobo upgrade later on. I would also wait till after xmas, as prices will come down
I read that there isnt much difference between 4x and 8x agp (im running my 9600 pro at 8x tho)
But i never experienced it myself.
The 9600 pro is realy a nice card btw ;)
woah my internet cant handle all those links
yea, isnt it amazing how the search funtion work to find you what you need?
The ati radeon 9600 pro is out of my range i checked over here this place has reasonable prices
Where are you located in Canada? You may find a local shop that will have better prices.
yea i am in canada but that place seems to be the cheapest
THERE IS NO "BEST" VIDEO CARD!!
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO..YOUR NOT GONNA WANT A 3GIG RADEON 999999 FOR GAMES LIKE PONG/TETRIS!!
tell us what kind of a gamer you are
i did not say anything about the "best" video card if u had read correctly and had made crazy assumptions u would have known this. anyways yes i am a gamer and looking to play high graphic demamding games
AGP 4X is fine. 8X is hardly any better.Quote:

and you should be able to use just about any desktop graphics card that's out right now. i don't believe there are any 8X-only cards. they're usually 4X/8X compatible.
