please advice about ATI 9600 Im going to buy


Recommended Posts

ftw, they all have problems. i built my own computer. learned way more than i wanted to in the process. pcmech helped me alot. as soon as u buy xxx, yyy comes out, so u cant win anyway.

i like amd, i like ati. i dont play fps games that are graphic intense. you have to first decide what you need a card for, then your budget. my next build this summer will be an ati brand 9600 pro or xt. u could save money with a powercolor or sapphire, but i figure why not stick with the guys that made the chips. they might still be around when i have a problem, owe me tech support, and their patches should work with their products.

my radeon 7000 64mb ddr(70us$) is less than a year old, but very out of date. but my puter is too,lol. so why buy a good card for a slow puter? it works for cm and everything else i do. used the software that came with it, and havent changed that for fear of new problems.

when i bought my mainboard(motherboard) i made sure it had an agp slot. i didnt want a pci video card. pciexpress or something like that will be the next new way to do it and agp prices will fall. keep that in mind before u buy a $500 card today and see it for 200 next year.
