Looking for a new Video card for under $200

I'm not looking for the best price necessarily, just the best card for around $200. I meant is there something better than the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro for under $200.
 
Makor, 9500 Pro is the best bet right now, probably until the 9600 comes out. You could save up a little more and get a 9700 Non Pro but those cost like $240.
 
Thanks for the info! One last question:

This is my current system:

Epox 8K7A motherboard
1.33 Ghz Thunderbird
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
ATI Radeon 64MB DDR

Would the 9500 Pro be overkill for this system?
 
That's a decent system for it, might want to get a beefier CPU down the line, but it'll do with the 9500Pro. And don't mind the 8X AGP feature as it doesn't make a discernable difference.
 
If it's possible to save up another $40 or so, a 9700 would be more futureproof I think, but a 9500 is nothing to sneeze at.

Can all 9700 non-pros be modded to 9700 Pro's?????

I think that you just have to overclock them. That said, my 9700 can't reach 9700 pro speed.
