Hey all, I'm looking at purchasing a Notebook with a Radeon 9600 Graphics Card, I was wondering if anyone knew if it was compatible with DX9 ??

Yes, it is.

Hi i have nearly the same problem about xt9600. i have amd sempron 2500+ and epox 8kmm3i-x motherboard and sapphire 256 mb 9600xt pro graphics card. i close my computer and about 20 minutes later i can only open it by resetting about 10 times and more. but if i close my comnputer and then just restart it, it works great... i can't increase the voltage in the bios. what can i do? thanks in advance... direct-x verison: 9,0c
