Which of these 2 graphics cards would you get?

A Radeon 9500 64MB DDR (£100 / $165) or a Radeon 9600 Atlantis 128MB DDR (£90 / $150) ?

I'm not looking for a card to last me for a long time, I just need something to use until HL2 comes out, when I'll buy whatever is the best card on the market then.

The 9600 all the way.
It has double the RAM and will be about the same speed, plus will overclock probably more giving it a faster speed. The extra RAM will help in a fair few games.

Or you could get a 9800Pro for £282

Go 9600

What's your current video card now? If you plan to replace it when HL2 comes out, then maybe saving that money until then and get a slighty higher video card.

I've got a GF2 GTS currently, and it's really struggling with current games. I think I'll go for the 9600. Thanks guys
