The ATi wins hands down. Go for it.

Those are both good choices. I think I would go with the Radeon 9500. I think it should be a little faster than the Ti4200, plus it's cheaper.

Definetely go with the 9500 if you can turn it into a 9700. |

It's definetely real. I've heard many have had success with it. The card you chose is exactly the right one. The 9500 (not pro) with 128mb.

Would it be easy to do. I wouldnt do teh hardware upgrade but the software 1. If it alot of configuring. Or just install and go.

I'd say go for the ATI card. Better bang for your buck and lots of opportunity to mod.

As long as you follow the directions, it shouldn't be hard. Maybe a little time consuming, but worth it I'd say.
