I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my FX 5200 card for a while now, and would also like a video capture card. However, I really don't need either upgrade so it's more a novelty thing - I keep my eye on a few sites, looking for a good deal. Futureshop (shudder) has the 9600 all in wonder on for $120 CAN ($130 off regular price) which seems like a pretty good deal. Will I really notice a decent improvement from my 5200? I don't play any really new games, but like to keep my options open. I am currently running, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, an 1800+ Athlon XP, 768 MB RAM system.

That looks like a pretty good deal. If I was in the market for a TV capture card as well as a video card I probably would have bought one.
If you want to compare a 9600 with a FX5200, check this Tom's Hardware article out. I used it when I was researching video card possibilities. The 9600 performs much better than a FX5200.
