No comparison, the first one has more of everything and is one generation newer.

even with 275mhz clock against 400mhz clock from radeon?

The 9600 is so old I don't know if you can easilly find benchmarks, especially comparing the two.

I was searching for the X1650 PRO and it's on sale at pricegrabber.com and shopping.com
I didn't include the links because the links are so weird. One of them says great sale but that's it.

I was unable to finy any benchmark that includes the 6800XE.. thats why im afraid of buying...

the trouble is that im brazilian.. so, the tax rate conversion between dollar / our currency makes this boards expensive..
and the second trouble is my psu.. its a non-branded 350W one.. so, i will really need one of the boards listed in the first topic..
So, between them, i should keep buying the 6800XE, even with lower clock / no benchs found?
