yes. such as the 9200SE, or 9600SE. i call those half radeons.

So back to the full radeon 9200 to the full radeon 9600 would there be any 'wow' factor with the 9600. Newegg has em as cheap as 65$

Cool was just trying to get some DX9 effects on the cheap.

How does the new 'Geforce 5500's' do? The price is right - just wasn't sure about the performance.

the 5500 blows ass. you need to fork over at least $140ish to get a GOOD DX9 card.

If you get a 128 bit Radeon 9600, you'll see a big difference. You'll even be able to run most of the new games. But even the Radeon 9600 XT is getting old. Unless you get a really good deal on the 9600, I would suggest saving up a little more and buying a faster card. Have you considered a used 9700 or 9800?

you need atleast a 9800 pro to get decent graphics.

 

[karnick]

id say if your coming from a 9200 get a 'double radeon' 9600 as you might say (XT), or at least a 9700 pro
