It depends on what you will be using the card for but if you are using the card for gaming and If you mean the Radeon 9500 and not the Radeon 9500 Pro then the Geforce 4 ti 4200 is the more powerful of the two I would think. But it's a close call and it would depend on which geforce 4 ti 4200 you choose.To my knowledge, the Radeon 9500 however does have the advantage of being a dx9 card.

I have seen both cards play Quake 3 Arena and the grafics were grate on both of them. I think you would be happy with eather one. Both are good cards

doing some looking around I can get a gainward ti4200 golden sample 128mb for an extra £10 more that the 9500. so am going to go for the ti4200 after seeing the benchmarks on the stable over clocking.

no apparently dell and IBM have bought all the 9500 pro cards so wont be some untill the New Year but the TI4200 golden sample can be overclocked to nearly match a TI4600 and still run stable with no errors.
