Thanks Alimon. I think you have me sold on the GF 6600GT. It runs circles around the X600 and for about the same $$$. Now I just have to wait for it to come out.

Does anyone have any thought on the 256mb version over the 128mb version? Is it worth the extra $? I was told that there is not really that much difference in performance on a lot of the cards already out there.

ahh no wonder, i never did a search for just 9600xt's.. DOH!!

but i noticed that the one i have is the only "all in wonder" 9600xt card they stock. its got a slightly faster core/ram speed than the other 9600xt's plus i do video editing so i needed the tv/av in-out setup the "all in wonder" has over the others. i just wish it was a 256mb card

get the 9600XT, once you get it update the catalyst drivers and it works like the 9800XT (£100 saving). It will upgrade everything, it just rocks xD

in the next 1-2 months I am thinking of the following.


amd64 3000 on a abit board

+ either 9800 pro or a 6600GT (not sure when the agp version is coming out though)

In my mind they are probably the best value gc at the moment.
