[QUOTE="stones, post: 2467891, member: 540734"] I bought a 9600pro recently with the 256meg ram I ended up returning it, the core was great and could be overclocked to slightly over 500mhz but the RAM was absolute garbage and was barely stable at its factory default of 200mhz. The 128meg version runs circles around it due to the fact that the ram is of such a higher quality. My final purchase was a Gigabyte Geforce 7600GS 256 which absolutely puts the spank on the old ATI9600pro, the core clock is the same at 400mhz default but the memory is twice as fast default and much more stable, The Nvidia card also has 12 pipelines as opposed to the ATI's 4, and no ****ed catalyst control center. Best 3DMARK03 scores (with 1gig DDR3200 RAM, Intel Celeron 2.6Ghz 400mhz FSB, P4VM800 motherboard, 465watt 26amp 12volt PSU) ATI 9600pro 256- 3200 points Nvidia 7600gs 256- 8300 points, pure ATI pwnage, the ATI X800 series is the closest card with its performance level. I suggest you have a peek at TIGERDIRECT they have awsome prices and hard to find hardware [URL="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=28"]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=28[/URL] I have made several orders from them and couldnt be more pleased with the service (new 3.06Ghz processor in the mail from them right now).
