I really hate to ask this, but what is the difference between these cards?
I'm looking for a replacement to a 9100 (8500LE I beleive) and want to stay under $150 (or so). I don't need the fastest of the 9600 series, just the best bang for the buck.
I see that there is a 9600SE, 9600, 9600Pro and a 9600XT (I think that is the price order) starting from around $70 up to about $200 (big price spread for the same number.
128MB for memory is ok and it has to have a DVI out along with a VGA out.
Without spending a day or two looking through all the tests any input or would a slightly older 9500 or 9700 be within what I'm looking for?
When I got my 9100 I was considering a 9500, but price stopped that choice. I don't want to sopund cheap, but I have a hard time justfying much over $150 for a video card!
