Look big dawg, I don't want to harp on this that much longer.

Trust me, once you see quality framerates in games you will want to play more of them. You just think games suck because you are playing games on an unacceptable medium.

So take my advice or don't, okay, but I don't see why you are not using a real graphics card in your new system. The mx440 is garbage. It will, in my opinion, pollute your system with bad mojo.

You should either get a 9600 XT or a 9500 pro, otherwise suffer the consequences.

Now ATI has released the finalized version of the 9500 PRO. Thanks to the reduced memory bandwidth, the new board is much cheaper to produce, as it only has half the number of pipelines to the memory modules as the 9700. Apart from a revised layout for the memory modules and the voltage converter, the differences don't appear to be very major. ATI has also now decided to dispense with the heatsink at the rear of the card behind the converter.

I just read that off of tomshardware. How do I know that the card on newegg.com isnt one of the new 9500Pros? One with only 4 pipelines?

WoW...I was looking at the benchmarks on tomshardware...and the 9500Pro looked good. It was beating the TI 4200 by a bit and I liked what I saw, but THEN, they turned the resolution up real high lots of FSAA or w/e and Antitroscopic (or w/e the hell its called) and the 9500Pro KICKED THE TI4600 ASS! ...wow that was very impressive. I think I will go ahead and buy this card...but I dont want to have to wait a whole freaking nother 2 days for it...

Which do you think will provide better gameplay and filtering and stuff?
9500Pro, or 9600Pro?

Look big dawg, we all want you to be happy. Of course we want you to spend as little money as possible.

So, if you can't afford the 9500 pro, or want to save your money, the 9600 XT is a great alternative. Regardless, you should get at least a 9600 pro. From what I have been reading, all three are great overclockers.
