Upgrade or not?

[o1die]

I have a 2.4b on the msi 655 max board with an agp pro slot. I'm currently using an 8500LE soyo card. This video card has excellent graphics, but I'm wondering if I can do better for $130-150. I tried a newegg refurb 9500 pro, but it had severe ghosting, so I returned it. Any suggestions?

9600Pro in that price range.

That's too expensive, but if you have that money try to find a 5900SE or 5900, which should blow 5700U/9600XT.

i wouldnt upgrade until the necxt gen of cards come out...

A 9600 pro would be a decent upgrade, but I'd try to stretch for at least a 9700 or a 5900. 5700 isn't worth it when the 5900 is only a few $$ more.
