The Radeon 9600 Pro outclasses all the Nvidia cards in that price range. It is a very good card. The Nvidia FX series cards aren't good performers and the GeForce 6000 series (6600, 6800, etc.), which are excellent performers, start at $200.

Save up 20 bucks for a 9600 Pro and you would see an improvement by probably a large amount. The XT version woul dbe even better, but that is about 140-160.
Wow, wonder how I missed that one... Hmm... well I guess ya don't have to save up 20 bucks

If you search 9800 pro chipset that one isn't listed. IT probably picked up on the 9800 part.
