It's a nice overall card, but I'll be switching from nVidia to ATI on my next purchase. All the reviews, and many Forum members, say ATI is the way to go. I believe (if I remember right) the ATI counter part is the 9600. Comparing the two, the ATI is just more impressive.

It's worth getting if you're on a tight budget and need a card for the newer games. Otherwise, it's anemic and could be a letdown.
EDIT: And if you don't have an AGP slot |

The NVidia competition to the 9600 is the 5600. I think the 5600 is a little bit better, but neither card beats the 9500Pro.

Sure, but I haven't seen a *PCI* FX5600.
I think Sam is fighting a losing battle trying to get a proprietary machine with no AGP slot to run today's games. |
