ya i kinda figured the whole 128mb thing, but i still dont get the diff between some of the 9600Xt's....my friend jsut told me he got some kinda "coupon" for $20 off an ATi card that works on alot of the all in wonders and stuff. im guessing i need a UPC from the game he got it with (half life) and stuff, but maybe ill do that n split the money with him. he got half life free lol--just bought a new comp with an A64 and when he got it they didnt give him a mouse, power cable, etc, and the comp had already been used, and had a families easter pics on it...pathetic...way to go circuit city, anyway this could make a big difference cuz that way i could get a retail card (since obviously ud need the UPC to claim the rebate, and OEM wont give u a UPC) and maybe even a more xpensive one. we'll see.
