Forget the FX5200. (I mean, really forget the FX5200.) Forget the 128-bit 9800SE. The 9600XT and the 256-bit 9800SE *might* wind up being comparable, *if* you can get a little overclocking going on the 9800SE. (This is assuming that it's a 380MHz core/600MHz (effective) memory card to begin with.) I know someone with a 4-pipe, 256-bit 9800SE running at 396/674, and it pushes things around on the screen just fine.

The 9600XT looks pretty good to me, but I would agree with the others: If you can swing the extra cash, the FX5900 would be the way to go. (Even if it's an "XT" or "SE", IMO.)

5900XT - no contest. Find the extra money somewhere rather than buy any of the other cards.

9600XT otherwise.

The link doesn't work, it showes me nothing about a 9600XT for 120$!!
Anyway, if there's a 9600XT for 120$ that would be a great buy, it's even better than the 130$ 5700U deal.
And where did you find a 5900XT for 150$? The cheapest one I've found was ~170$!
The 9600XT is the best bang for the buck out of that list, next comes the 5900XT IMO
