What is the best card here for under $200?

[Zeitgeist]

Hi.

I'm building a custom system from MicroPro and am wondering what the best performing card is for under $200 at the url below.
Also, if possible, the best performing one under $250 too.

Looking at the drop-down menu, the $183 9600P or, better yet, the $213 Tyan 9500P. It would seem Tyans are nice-looking, well-engineered cards, and the 9500P is faster than the 9600P.

9700np

FYI, xbit reviewed the Tyan 9500P.

You'd get more for your money buying a video card separately, though. The $215 a 9500P costs at Micropro will get you a 9700 elsewhere, which is basically the same card bt with double the memory bandwidth (which translates into higher frameraet at high res and with AA & AF).
