I apologize for putting this out here, but I don't particularly want to go the ebay route- does anyone want an ATI 128MB 9600XT card (AGP) ? Its brand new - I bought it at black Friday a year ago, and never got around to using it, and I'm moving to a Pci-express board so I can't use it.

roffle - Pricegrabber finds the lowest equivalent with shipping at 88 for me - would 70 (with shipping) work ?

I think I have a Radeon 9200 (64Mb) right now. How much of an upgrade would this be (I ask because prices available on-line look decent)?

Fine, $3.95! That's my final offer!

Flere,
I'll direct you to the best source I know of - Tom's hardware. I can't seem to find benchmarks for the 9200, but there a bunch of them for the 9600, and someone here who knows more can probably enlighten you.

Fyi, Do you have a retail 9200 or a default one from a desktop ? The one's from a desktop might well be 64-bit or SE's, which are genuine pieces of shit - a retail version is less likely to be so.

I'll give you a used piece of chewing gum and I'll even throw in the wrapper it came in!

Crapshoot - I've responded to your PM.

For those who might know - my CPU is an Athlon XP 1800+ and I have 1 Gb of RAM. Will this card be limited by my system or should the CPU be able to feed it OK?

I've checked all the usual review sites, but can't find anything definitive.

Thanks. :)
