For $200 what would you get ??

[azev]

I am a not into gaming much, but the recent game I bought (Age of Mythology) have taken most of my time recently.
Well currently I am using Geforce2pro 32mb. I guess its time for me to upgrade to a better card as my christmas present.
I am confused what to get, but I canot spent more than $200, what would be the best buy at this price ??

Thanks guys.

ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, no doubt. GeForce4 Ti4600 performance in today's games, even better with FSAA and full support for DirectX9 games.

What is the major difference between radeon 9700pro and radeon 9500 pro, what justify the $200 dollar difference ?

Clock speed The "Pro" version of the 9500 has all of the features and pipelines of the 9700 intact and will perform closely. With some overclocking there should be no difference to warrant a huge price difference (though some are speculating that the 9500 Pro and 9000 "amateur" cards are clock-locked but folks at the Rage3D.com forums are working to find a way to overclock them). There is just no other card worth considering in this price range (edit: except if there's a 9500 Pro shortage which looks to be happening soon, the GF4 Ti4400 isn't bad).
