This is a generation or two ahead of what I currently use, and isn't a dreaded "SE" model.
Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Advantage 256MB AGPÂ - $95.99
The 9600 Pro is a better performer than a plain 9600, and is probably worth the extra $27. The 256MB is probably more than I need, but the local store doesn't sell a 128MB model.
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256MB DDR AGPÂ - $122.99
If a 9600-series ATI card is the sweet spot, the 9600XT is the best I can do. Right now I'm sorta leaning towards this one. I just think that my computer's other parts will be a major bottleneck for anything better.
Hi,
I have the 9600 XT 128mb...here is some Old [10 Nov 2004 ] INFO...
Note: this card does not require additional Power.
Quote:The Radeon 9600XT (codename RV360) takes a special place in this line-up, though, as it is based on a more modern architecture than the earlier 9600 variants. For the first time, this makes driver optimizations for trilinear filtering possible, which results in much higher performance.
