from what i can see there is a rather substantial diff between 9600xt and 9800 pro.

Yes there is a difference between the two. But from your earlier posts Aaron I was led to believe you were on a budget. If you have the dough Get the 9800Pro. Its a much better card. But if you want a good performing card at a reasonable price the 9600xt is a good deal.

I did a search on the Sapphire cards and from what I read they seem to have good performance. My experience with the ATI boards has been good. For only $25 more from new egg you can get the ATI 9800pro. 9800pro

Just remember you said it....You get what you pay for....big time true when dealing with video cards.

Got it from the link I posted above. Out of 40 different boards the 9600xt vs the 9800pro the XT was only 8 cards behind it. Now the 9800pro is a great leap forward in technology. It performs almost twice as good as the 9600XT.

My point to Aaron was the the 9600XT will run AH2 at a very acceptable level and at a resonable price. I know lots who are using this board and have no complaints(Me).

Was just trying to help the guy save some cash. Origianlly he only wanted to spend no more than $105 on a video board. He is now looking at having a fine system and getting excellent framerates. But at a price, it has risen from the innital $650 that Aaron wanted to spend to $1000.

If ya got it spend it, cause ya shure cant take it with ya....
