ok and whats the difference betwwen the 9600se and the other 9600's and can i get the cheape rwith the heatsink or is it to risky?


I like this card because of the price and the revews and the specs the stuff inside


http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...164-021&depa=0

or this is the one wit the fan i like but im not crazy about the price i relly wanted to say below $80usd but ill go 4 the $89usd one but $102.50usd + tax and shipping is a little steep.

this is the card wit the fan its 102.50usd

The SE cards have 64 bit memory that has terrible performance. That Rosewill card is really good and its ok that it doesnt have a fan, it also has 128 bit memory.

soo i sohuld go with the rosewell th most gaming ill do is 1hour-1and a half hours at a tim e tops. and ill let it rest for 1-3 hours usally because i get sick of the game if i playe it for more then 1-1and half hours. DO u think that www.newegg.com will have a sale after chritmas and newsyears of that stuff cause thats when ill order, i think i might build or bye a new computer in 2006 because then my current computer will be 5 years old, i can transfer that into a new computer right, and put my old biedo card back in thins one when sell it ore give this comouter awat.


ALso if i get ram what kind will it accept on one or two of the revews on newegg they say all pc-133 ram isnt the same i see som 35- 36usd ram will it work?

The Rosewill card without the fan is fine. I wouldnt get an nvidia card without a fan be cause they run very hot but its nothing that would damage your computer. If you get the 256mb video card you can probably skip the extra system memory but thats the cheapest Ive seen SDRAM in a long time. $35 is a great price. Newegg has some sells but they already have the lowest prices Ive found. And you will see a big difference in gaming and day to day use if you got up to 512mb.

Not with the system you have. I can only play Doom 3 at medium settings with the system I have. With that card you are good for games up to now, but for futere games you will need a new system and a more expensive card- $200-300 range.

You should be able to play those games if you dont have the settings too high.

The Pro and XT's are awsome cards. Alot better than the regular 9600. I was under the impression you were looking for a budget card but I would get the Pro. Thats a great price for a 256mb card.

Ive been using Newegg for almost 6 years and never had a problem. Ive never had to pay sales tax but some states are starting to charge it for online shopping. Newegg will tell you before you pay. Merry Christmas.
